We are pleased to announce that Dr. Haeyong Kang, a former member of Prof. Chang D. Yoo’s laboratory (U-AIM) in the School of Electrical Engineering at KAIST, has been appointed as a faculty member in the School of Digital Software Engineering at Duksung Women’s University, effective September 1, 2026.
After graduating from high school in Korea, Dr. Kang pursued his bachelor’s and master’s degrees as Korea-Japan Joint Government Scholarship Program’s student in Japan before completing his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering at KAIST. Following his Ph.D., he embarked on an entrepreneurial journey, spending several years commercializing AI technologies and achieving a successful startup exit before returning to academia. His career thus brings together diverse academic experiences in Korea and Japan with hands-on experience in entrepreneurship and technology commercialization.
Dr. Kang’s research interests include Large Language Models (LLMs), Continual Learning, and Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning (PEFT). His research has been published at leading international AI conferences, including ICML and ICLR, as well as in IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence (TPAMI).
At Duksung Women’s University, Dr. Kang plans to expand his research toward Continual Adaptive AI, AI Agents, and Physical AI, with the goal of developing intelligent AI systems capable of continuously learning and adapting to changing environments and new experiences.
We sincerely congratulate Dr. Kang on his faculty appointment and wish him great success in this exciting new chapter of his academic career.
