Graduate Program of Computer Science and Engineering in UNIST

The Vision of UNIST is to be a world leading university to advance science and technology for the prosperity of humankind. We have been focusing on interdisciplinary research and education since our establishment in 2009. UNIST is a national university in Korea with focus on research and has been selected to participants in the World Class University (WCU) project and a number of other national projects.

Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) aims to improve the quality of human life by
researching and developing computer and information systems, which are pervasive in every facet of modern life. In this program, students will learn the foundational principles that are necessary to implement computer systems, and that are essential to utilize computer systems for practical uses. (All the classes are provided in English.) We cultivate the finest engineers who are capable of quality research and development in the area of computer systems and applications of critical importance in the upcoming era. For more information, please visit http://ece.unist.ac.kr (CSE track). Research areas of interest include (but not limited to) Computer Architecture and System Software, Information Science and Machine Intelligence, Computer Networks and Security, Application Software and Software Engineering, and Computation Theory. Please take a look at the attached profile of our faculty members and visit their web pages through http://ece.unist.ac.kr, where profiles and web pages of additional faculty members are also available. Join with us and be a member of CSE at UNIST, you will have a chance to blur the boundary between theory and practical applications. Bring your own works to help other majors in multidisciplinary areas. With the research-oriented working environment, you will transform yourselves to be independent, critical, creative and more importantly make your ideas come true. (Tran Minh Quan, Master student) Scholarship: RA/TA scholarship is available for graduate students and it can cover the tuition fee and minimum living costs. Additional research subsides can be provided (likely in CSE) according to students participation in research projects. Living: UNIST provides all international students with student dormitories on campus, and room reservations are usually made before you come to the school. Room rates are available in the admission site (http://adm-g.intl.unist.ac.kr). Ulsan, where UNIST is located, is one of the four large manufacturing cities in Asia. Ulsan remains the heart and soul of Korean industries, continually advancing the Korean economy. It has formed international clusters of automobile (including Hyundai), shipbuilding and petrochemical industries; it also aims to be a global green industrial city through developing industries dealing with secondary batteries, environmental technologies and equipment, and renewable energy. You can find more information about Ulsan at http://english.ulsan.go.kr How to Apply Schedule: UNIST is in a unique tri-mester system, each starting at March, late Aug., and late Nov.

Autonomous Agents Lab.


Autonomous Agents Lab focuses on building software systems that can successfully handle tasks that currently require human intelligence, such as driving and planning. We are also interested in the design of practical systems (e.g., transportation systems) whose performance depends on how well agents can collaborate with each other. To accomplish these goals, we will scientifically investigate the foundations of Artificial Intelligence systems for decision making and problem solving.

High-Performance Visual Computing Lab


The research goal is to develop computational methods and visualization tools to help scientists make new discoveries. To achieve this goal, my research has focused on highperformance visual computing, the research field that leverages various techniques of computer graphics, visualization, image processing, and parallel computing to address dataintensive scientific research problems, for example, visualization and reconstruction of macro- and microscopic neuronal connection maps in the brain from large-scale micrographs. This is an interdisciplinary research effort that bridges the gap between domain sciences and computer science.

Co-design and Parallel Processing (CAP) Lab.


Today, computer performance is more constrained by power and temperature than anything else. At the same time, we witness ever-growing performance requirements of applications on battery-operated mobile devices, such as speech and video recognition, more realistic graphics, and interactive user interface. To enable those applications, it is imperative to maximize the energy efficiency of computing platforms and to improve it at least by orders of magnitude. The CAP lab in UNIST pushes the limit of energy-efficient computing by designing and optimizing today's and tomorrow's emerging applications (e.g., computer vision, recognition, synthesis) focusing on innovative processor architectures (e.g., graphics processors, reconfigurable architectures) and compiler optimization.
