Graduate Program of Computer Science and Engineering in UNIST

The Vision of UNIST is to be a world leading university to advance science and technology for the

prosperity of humankind. We have been focusing on interdisciplinary research and education since our

establishment in 2009. UNIST is a national university in Korea with focus on research and has beenselected to participants in the World Class University (WCU) project and a number of other national

projects.

Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) aims to improve the quality of human life by

researching and developing computer and information systems, which are pervasive in every facet of

modern life. In this program, students will learn the foundational principles that are necessary to

implement computer systems, and that are essential to utilize computer systems for practical uses.

(All the classes are provided in English.) We cultivate the finest engineers who are capable of quality

research and development in the area of computer systems and applications of critical importance in

the upcoming era. For more information, please visithttp://ece.unist.ac.kr(CSE track).

Research areas of interest include (but not limited to) Computer Architecture and System Software,Information Science and Machine Intelligence, Computer Networks and Security, Application Software

and Software Engineering, and Computation Theory. Please take a look at the attached profile of our

faculty members and visit their web pages through http://ece.unist.ac.kr, where profiles and web

pages of additional faculty members are also available.

Join with us and be a member of CSE at UNIST, you will have a chance to blur the boundary

between theory and practical applications. Bring your own works to help other majors in multi-

disciplinary areas. With the research-oriented working environment, you will transform yourselves to

be independent, critical, creative and more importantly make your ideas come true. (Tran Minh Quan,

Master student)

Scholarship: RA/TA scholarship is available for graduate students and it can cover the tuition fee

and minimum living costs. Additional research subsides can be provided (likely in CSE) according to

students participation in research projects.

Living: UNIST provides all international students with student dormitories on campus, and room

reservations are usually made before you come to the school. Room rates are available in the

admission site (http://adm-g.intl.unist.ac.kr).

Ulsan, where UNIST is located, is one of the four large manufacturing cities in Asia. Ulsan remains the

heart and soul of Korean industries, continually advancing the Korean economy. It has formed

international clusters of automobile (including Hyundai), shipbuilding and petrochemical industries; it

also aims to be a global green industrial city through developing industries dealing with secondarybatteries, environmental technologies and equipment, and renewable energy. You can find more

information about Ulsan athttp://english.ulsan.go.kr

Autonomous Agents Lab focuses on building software systems that can successfully handle

tasks that currently require human intelligence, such as driving and planning. We are also

interested in the design of practical systems (e.g., transportation systems) whose

performance depends on how well agents can collaborate with each other. To accomplish

these goals, we will scientifically investigate the foundations of Artificial Intelligencesystems for decision making and problem solving.

The research goal is to develop computational methods and visualization tools to help

scientists make new discoveries. To achieve this goal, my research has focused on high-

performance visual computing, the research field that leverages various techniques of

computer graphics, visualization, image processing, and parallel computing to address data-

intensive scientific research problems, for example, visualization and reconstruction of

macro- and microscopic neuronal connection maps in the brain from large-scale

micrographs. This is an interdisciplinary research effort that bridges the gap between

domain sciences and computer science.

Today, computer performance is more constrained by power and temperature than

anything else. At the same time, we witness ever-growing performance requirements of

applications on battery-operated mobile devices, such as speech and video recognition,

more realistic graphics, and interactive user interface. To enable those applications, it is

imperative to maximize the energy efficiency of computing platforms and to improve it at

least by orders of magnitude. The CAP lab in UNIST pushes the limit of energy-efficient

computing by designing and optimizing today's and tomorrow's emerging applications (e.g.,

computer vision, recognition, synthesis) focusing on innovative processor architectures (e.g.,

graphics processors, reconfigurable architectures) and compiler optimization.

Research Interests1. Multi- and many-core architectures, and accelerators

(e.g., general-purpose graphics processing units and reconfigurable processors)

2. Application- and domain-specific processors, and compilers for them

(e.g., computer vision processor)

3. Embedded systems, hardware-software co-design, and System-on-Chip (SoC) design
