I research how AI can be made more useful and accessible to people.
About
Hi, I'm Jihyun Yu. I am a Ph.D. student in Artificial Intelligence at Ewha Womans University, advised by Prof. Junhyug Noh as a member of the Practical AI Lab (PAI Lab). I complete my Ph.D. coursework at the end of this semester.
My research interests include domain adaptation and robustness, as well as understanding how AI systems actually behave. I'm particularly interested in how we can adapt AI to real-world environments and ground that understanding in careful evaluation.
Before pursuing AI research, I studied Educational Technology and spent approximately six years working in corporate Learning & Development (L&D), focusing on leadership development, competency modeling, and workplace learning. With this background, I'm also interested in how AI can be effectively integrated into educational settings to support teaching and learning.
