Biography

Young Kwon is a Ph.D. student majoring in Computer Science in the Mobile Systems Group at the University of Cambridge, where he is supervised by Prof. Cecilia Mascolo and funded by Nokia Bell Labs.
 
His research focuses on resource-constrained mobile systems to enable context-aware adaptation to the changing environments (e.g., new inputs and users) in real-time while preserving privacy. To this end, He leverages computational methods from continual learning, machine learning, and network science.
