Woojeong Jin

Ph.D. Candidate, Computer Science Department

I am a final-year Ph.D. candidate in Computer Science at the University of Southern California. I am fortunate to be advised by Prof. Xiang Ren and supported by KEF Scholarship. I received B.S. in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Seoul National University. My undergraduate research was advised by Prof. U Kang.

My research interest lies in Multimodal Learning and Natural Language Processing.
