Work
Experience

2026.06-2026.08

Research Intern @ Honda Research Institute, Inc., USA

- San Jose, California, U.S.

- Intelligence Marine Research team (advisor: Berker Logoglu)

- Developed a monocular perception pipeline unifying 2D detection and depth estimation for maritime object detection and ranging up to 500m.
- Trained entirely on synthetic open-ocean data, designing the model around maritime-specific geometry (horizon, waterline) to maximize real-world transferability.
- Achieved strong sim-to-real transfer, validated through a live real-time demo deployed on a boat off the Florida coast.

2022.10-2023.07

Researcher @ HANYANG UNIVERSITY

- Seoul, South Korea

- Computer vision & spatial AI lab (advisor: Prof. Je Hyeong Hong)

- Proposed a clustering-based hard sample mining framework for unsupervised and weakly-supervised video anomaly detection, improving rare anomaly localization in untrimmed videos.
- Developed a PyQt-based visualization tool for real-time anomaly detection, supporting model evaluation and result interpretation.
