Summary
Sungha Choi is an Assistant Professor of Artificial Intelligence at Kyung Hee University and a former Qualcomm AI research scientist with eight years blending industrial R&D and academic rigor to advance On-Device and Agentic AI. His work focuses on multimodal embedding, long-context understanding for text and video, generative model fine-tuning and personalization, and test-time adaptation, drawing on hands-on experience deploying AI on neural processing units in automotive and mobile settings. He has led applied projects across vision tasks—semantic segmentation, anomaly detection, image generation/translation—and built production-facing features from in-vehicle cockpit AI to 5G telematics. Trained with a PhD in Deep Learning from Korea University and master's and bachelor's degrees from Sogang University, he uniquely bridges low-level embedded constraints with large-model research. Colleagues describe him as someone who turns cutting-edge models into practical, on-device systems that respect real-world constraints.
