Hi, I’m Seongsu. Thank you for stopping by! 👋 The spelling of my name in Korean is “성수” and it is pronounced as [sʌŋ-su:].

I am currently an incoming Ph.D. student in the AI department at KAIST. I am also a member of Structured and Probabilistic Machine Learning (SPML) Lab. I completed my M.S. in Artificial Intelligence at POSTECH.

My research interests include integrating AI into scientific research and using AI to uncover scientific facts. Also, I am interested in physical and chemical concepts like solid state physics, simulation dynamics and molecular science, and also mathematical concepts like group theory, geometry and geometrical deep learning.

Recently, I am focusing on (1) generative modeling for materials and (2) ab-initio method based machine learning for quantum physics and chemistry related with density functional theroy (DFT) or variational Monte Carlo (VMC).

I believe that AI will effectively reduce the complexity of calculations in physics and chemistry, especially in areas like multi-objective optimization problems, challenges in establishing ansatzes, modeling interactions and governing equations, and handling intractable computations. I am studying and researching these possibilities.

I am always open to discussion, so please feel free to reach out anytime!
