Cheol Jun Cho

Hi, I am a PhD student in EECS at UC Berkeley, fortunate to be advised by Dr. Jack L. Gallant and Dr. Gopala K. Anumanchipalli. I am affiliated with the Berkeley Artificial Intelligence Research (BAIR), where I have lead a research project as part of the Meta-BAIR Commons for two years. I am a recipient of the Kwanjeong Study Abroad Scholarship.

My research lies in computational neuroscience, speech science, and human-centric AI:

  • Human-centric, grounded representational learning for spoken language understanding
  • Data-driven approaches for naturalistic neuroscience experiments
  • General understanding of the conversational brain and AI
  • AI-powered high-performance brain-computer interfaces

Before I came to Berkeley, I received a B.S. in Computer Science and Engineering at Seoul National University in Korea graduating with the honor of valedictorian.
