My name is Chulhee (I go by Charlie), and I am an assistant professor at KAIST Kim Jaechul Graduate School of AI (KAIST AI). I direct the Optimization & Machine Learning (OptiML) Laboratory at KAIST AI.

I finished my PhD from the Laboratory for Information and Decision Systems at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where I was fortunate to study under the joint supervision of Prof. Suvrit Sra and Prof. Ali Jadbabaie. Before MIT, I was a master’s student in Electrical Engineering at Stanford University, where I worked with Prof. John Duchi. I finished my undergraduate program in Electrical Engineering at KAIST.

For prospective students: If you are curious about what kinds of research I do, please see this interview article (in Korean). I look for self-motivated graduate students with strong mathematical backgrounds. If you are an undergraduate student interested in interning at our lab, consider applying for summer/winter KAIST AI Research Internship (KAIRI) programs.
