About Me

Hello! I'm Yunsung Lee, an AI/ML research engineer with strong research foundations and practical experience in deploying commercial AI products.

Who I Am

I'm an AI researcher and engineer working in machine learning and computer vision. What keeps me in the field is the distance between a result on paper and a system people actually use — most of my work lives in that gap.

What I Do

  • AI/ML Research: Specializing in vision-language multimodal systems, diffusion models, and autonomous agents
  • Research Leadership: Leading research initiatives at MaumAI's WoRV team for robotics and vehicle control
  • Teaching: Adjunct Professor at DGIST, School of Undergraduate Studies, teaching undergraduate coursework in Physical AI
  • Product Development: Deploying commercial AI products with over 5M+ MAUs
  • Academic Contributions: Publishing in top-tier conferences with 1.9K+ citations
  • Knowledge Sharing: Contributing to the AI community through research, open-source projects, and conference reviews

My Research Interests

Core Areas

  • Vision-Language AI: Multimodal systems that understand both visual and textual information
  • Diffusion Models: Generative AI and advanced diffusion-based approaches
  • Autonomous Agents: Embodied AI systems that can act in real-world environments
  • Foundation Models: Large-scale robotics models for generalizable intelligence

Beyond Code

Outside of work:

  • Reading papers with PR12, TensorFlow Korea's advanced study group — going on six years now
  • Maintaining open-source tooling for open-world agents at open-world-agents
  • Mixing drinks; I hold Korea's national Craftsman Bartender license

Let's Connect

I'm always interested in connecting with fellow developers, discussing new ideas, and collaborating on interesting projects. Feel free to reach out through any of the following channels:
