Sang-Hoon Yeo

shyeo[at]cs[dot]ubc[dot]ca

I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Computer Science Department at University of British Columbia, studying under Dinesh K. Pai as part of the Sensorimotor Systems Lab. I received my B.S. and M.S. degrees in Mechanical Engineering from Seoul National University, Korea.
My academic mission is to uncover how the brain interacts with world using eyes, muscles and bones.

I have defended my PhD and will join the Wolpert lab at Cambridge.
