Jinkyoung Hwangbo

I am a sound AI researcher at Samsung Research, where I focus on on-device sound event detection, anomaly sound detection, and audio-visual source separation. I developed Audio Eraser for the Galaxy S25 series, and received the Samsung Research Award—an honor granted to researchers who have made significant contributions to the organization. Also, I contibuted to a diagnosis system for Samsung home appliances by developing an Abnormal Sound Classification model. My research interests include but are not limited to audio understanding, multimodal learning, efficient deep learning, and so on.

I earned my B.S. in Industrial Engineering and Artificial Intelligence summa cum laude from Seoul National University.
