Senior Research Scientist

About Me

I’m a senior research scientist in Clova Voice at Naver Corporation, Seongnam, Korea (from Mar 2017) and lead the DNN TTS team. I’m also an adjunct professor in Artificial Intelligence Institute at Seoul National University, Seoul, Korea (from Aug 2022).

I received my Ph.D. degree in department of Electrical and Electronics at Yonsei University, Seoul, Korea. During my Ph.D., I served my internships at Microsoft Research Asia, Beijing, China and Qualcomm Technologies Inc., San Diego, CA.

My research interests include speech synthesis and its real-world applications. Specifically, I develop a hybrid TTS system combining deep learning and unit-selection TTS models for cloud-based products such as Clova AI speaker, Clova Dubbing, Naver Maps navigation, and Naver News anchor.

If you are interested in me, feel free to contact me.
