Seunghan Lee

I am an AI Scientist at LG AI Research. I received my integrated M.S./Ph.D. in Statistics and Data Science at Yonsei University, co-advised by Prof. Taeyoung Park (DSLab) and Prof. Kibok Lee (ML Lab). Previously, I was a Deep Learning Engineer / Researcher at KRAFTON and a research intern at Naver Cloud (HyperCLOVA X) and SK Telecom.

My research centers on deep learning for time series — including multimodal time-series forecasting, time-series foundation models, financial time series, and anomaly detection. I am also interested in representation / self-supervised learning and diffusion models.

I write about AI / Data Science on my blog (1,400+ posts, 2020.03–2026.01).
