Dahyun Kang

Hello! My name is Dahyun (pronounced as “DAH-ion”). I am a research scientist at Google DeepMind working on a broad range of visual and physical understanding. I completed my Ph.D. with Minsu Cho at POSTECH Computer Vision Lab 🇰 where I worked on minimally supervised learning for visual recognition and segmentation. Prior to that, I obtained my undergraduate degree from the Computer Science and Engineering department, POSTECH. I am currently based in France.
