Hello! I am Dr. Yewon Hwang. I received my Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from KAIST in 2024, where I worked on multimodal learning for sentiment analysis and emotion recognition. After graduating, I worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) from Sep. 2024 to Oct. 2026.
Before my Ph.D., I earned my M.S. in Electrical Engineering at KAIST and my B.S. in Mechanical Engineering at Pennsylvania State University.
My research focuses on how AI can understand people and dynamic environments through vision, language, and sensor data. At KIST, I worked on multi-object tracking, sports video understanding, and multimodal healthcare AI.
My recent work includes Broadcast2Pitch and Broadcast2Pitch++, which reconstruct game states from soccer broadcast videos. My research has been recognized with the WACV 2026 Best Paper award and first place in the SoccerNet Challenge 2025.
