Information  Intelligence Lab

Overview

Information and Intelligence Lab (iil) is a research group in the Department of Electrical Engineering (and affiliated with the Graduate School of Artificial Intelligence) at Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH). 

Our research is centered around the quantification and transmission of information and intelligence. We aim to find fundamental limits, optimal designs, and principled practical implementations of information systems, often by pushing mathematical tools from information theory, coding theory, (convex) optimization, and learning theory in new directions.

Open Positions

We are looking for self-motivated [graduate students/interns/postdocs]. Please read this if you are interested in our research.  

• 함께 연구를 수행할 대학원생/학부 인턴을 모집 중입니다. 연구실 지원에 관심이 있는 분들은 openings을 확인하기 바랍니다.
