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!
