Hi! my name is Hyunin Lee.

I am a second-year Ph.D. student at UC Berkeley.
I am interested in devising real-world reinforcement learning algorithms with solid theoretical backgrounds.
I am fortunate to work with Somayeh Sojoudi and Javad Lavaei. Prior to joining Berkeley, I received my B.S. degree from Seoul National University where I have worked on research projects within neuroscience and machine learning with Prof.Yong-Lae Park.

Besides my research, I am interested in democratizing AI education 📚👩🏻‍💻. I cofound and currently advise OUTTA.
