[Biography]
- Seokmin Hong was born in Busan, South Korea, at 1986. He received B. Eng. in Software Engineering (2012), M. Sc. in Computer Science (2014) from Dongseo University, Busan, South Korea, and PhD in Physics from the University of Valencia, Spain (2020), respectively. In 2012 Dongseo University honored him with B. Eng. Extraordinary Award.
During 2014 he worked with Institute of Ambient Intelligence Laboratory (IAI Lab), at Dongseo University. From 2020 to 2021 he worked with Doitplenoptic - The Light Field Company as a Computer Engineer. From May of 2021 to January of 2023, he worked with Gumi Electronics & Information Technology Research Institute (GERI) as a Senior Researcher. Currently, he has been working with Korea Institute of Medical Microrobotics (KIMIRo) as a Research Team Leader.
His research interests are digital image processing, optical sensing and computer vision, 3D data refinement, analysis, and computational reconstruction, 3D integral imaging, 3D display, computer graphics, Deep learning based image analysis and segmentation, and applied computer science.
