Seungjun Chu

I build models that find what doesn’t belong.

Undergraduate researcher in industrial and management engineering. On the factory side that means anomaly detection when defects are rare and labels are thin. On the city side it means locating where public infrastructure quietly fails the people it was built for. Both are the same question asked of different data.

Two lines of work

Anomaly detection for industrial inspection

Real inspection lines rarely hand you what a supervised model wants. Defects are rare, labels are coarse or absent, and the camera setup shifts between one factory and the next. I work on methods built for those conditions.

Where public systems fail people

A hospital three kilometers away is not close if reaching it takes an hour. I use spatial and digital-footprint data to measure the distance between infrastructure that exists on a map and infrastructure that works for the people beside it.

Elsewhere

Mentoring young researchers

Invited mentor at APIGA 2026 (ICANN & KISA), the Youth Scientific Expedition, and the Roundsquare Prize Youth Food-Tech Competition — where I was one of three mentors alongside a university faculty member and a KISTI senior researcher.

Speaking

Invited speaker at the 2025 Science & Technology Talent Networking Party hosted by the Ministry of Science and ICT, and earlier at the Busan Education Expo.

Organizing

Academic team of the organizing committee for the 2026 SNU–KU–Yonsei Industrial Engineering Academic Exchange, where I designed the evaluation metrics for the joint competition.
