JaeHeon Lee

At KAIST, where I’m currently in my 4th year, I majored in Biology, AI, and Electrical Engineering, building a foundation in computational neuroscience. I’m interested in understanding neural information encoding and cognitive uncertainty — especially in how different pieces of information come together and compose layers of complexity. I’ve also studied mathematics by watching a YouTube channel.

I interned in Min Whan Jung’s lab for two months, assisting with rat experiments involving training and surgical procedures. Following that, I spent 1.5 years in Sang Wan Lee’s lab working on a simple RL project and analyzing error signal propagation in fMRI using MVPA. I also worked as a data scientist and a participant in Korea’s mandatory ITP program for two years at DeepBio, an AI histopathology startup. Currently, I’m part of Yul HR Kang’s lab, focusing on psychophysics and human uncertainty, while also working in Cristina Savin’s lab at NYU on a project related to compositional learning.

I’m planning to apply for a PhD program in the U.S. next year, with the goal of starting in 2026.

Thank you for visiting my GitHub page, where I share my pursuits and discoveries.
