You're not required to contact me, but it is highly recommended. You can also contact me after admitted if you do not have an advisor. Note that KAIST (and other universities in Korea) generally assumes "research master's" which requires a thesis for graduation. If you have completed a Bachelor's degree in a computing-related area, you will have to take a coding test. Although non-CS major applicants are encouraged to apply and not required to take a coding test, I prefer to work with students with strong programming skills. Having some prior publications is good, but it is not necessary at all.

Required documents

• CV (include prior publications and working manuscripts, demonstrate your writing and programming skills)
• All transcripts since undergraduate
• Personal statement (up to 2 pages. What research do you want to do? What do you want to do after graduation?)

You must contact me before applying. We will then schedule a short meeting (remote or in-person). At KAIST (and other universities in Korea), a Master's degree is required when applying for a Ph.D. KAIST has a Master's-Ph.D. integrated program, but it is highly selective.

Required documents

• CV (include prior publications and working manuscripts, demonstrate your writing, programming, and design skills)
• All transcripts since undergraduate
• Personal statement (up to 3 pages. What doctoral research do you want to do? What do you want to do after graduation?)

I am willing to work with highly motivated students, so feel free to contact me if you are interested. For KAIST students, internships can happen year-round. If you're not attending KAIST, internship opportunities will be limited to summer/winter breaks. Please reach out well in advance of your desired start date (about 2 months prior) in order to allocate financial sources.

Our lab welcomes international students. The lab uses English as a primary language. KAIST provides most of the courses in English and has a Korean language education program as well. For degree-seeking students, KAIST's ISSS will support you. For visiting students, internship, and postdocs, I am happy to support your immigration processes, so please contact me well in advance as it may take a longer time than expected.
