< Dr. Hyun-Ho Kim >
Dr. Hyun-Ho Kim, an alumnus of the Video and Image Computing (VIC) Lab in the KAIST School of Electrical Engineering (Advisor: Prof. Munchurl Kim), has been appointed as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electronics Engineering at Chungnam National University, effective September 1, 2026.
Dr. Kim received his B.S. in Electronics and Radio Engineering from Kyung Hee University and his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from the School of Electrical Engineering at KAIST under the supervision of Prof. Munchurl Kim.
Since December 2017, Dr. Kim has worked at the Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI), first as a researcher and later as a senior researcher, conducting research on image processing technologies for satellite image calibration and validation, quality enhancement, and applications. His research has focused particularly on deep learning-based PAN-sharpening, satellite image restoration and enhancement, compression artifact removal, and SAR-to-EO image translation.
He has published his research in leading international journals, including IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, IEEE Transactions on Image Processing, and IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Letters. His work proposing a new learning approach for PAN-sharpening was also accepted at the European Conference on Computer Vision (ECCV 2026), demonstrating his active contributions to the fields of satellite imaging and computer vision.
At Chungnam National University, Dr. Kim will pursue research and education in deep learning, computer vision, image processing, and remote sensing. In particular, he plans to develop reliable AI-based image processing technologies that account for the characteristics of real-world satellite sensors and operational environments. Through this work, he aims to contribute to solving practical challenges in the space sector by improving the quality and utilization of satellite and remote sensing imagery.
We sincerely congratulate Dr. Kim on his faculty appointment and look forward to his future achievements.
