I am an associate professor at KAIST AI. I believe trustworthiness is the last barrier to the AI productivity revolution. I research Scalable Trustworthy AI: making AI systems reliable, explainable, and aligned with human intent at scale.

I lead the Scalable Trustworthy AI (STAI) group since 2022. I moved the group from University of Tübingen to KAIST in February 2026. I was a research scientist at NAVER AI Lab for 3.5 years. I received my PhD in computer vision and machine learning at Max-Planck Institute for Informatics in 2018, under the supervision of Bernt Schiele and Mario Fritz, with a focus on the privacy and security implications of CV and ML (Thesis). I received the Master of Mathematics with Distinction in 2014 and Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics as a Wrangler in 2013, both at University of Cambridge.

I started compiling the principles for life and research 🍎.

I build NowDo. AI plans your day, and your feedback builds the app. It is where the trustworthiness questions meet real users.

I accept applications to STAI only through the STAI application form. I do not accept applications by email or social media.
