Seunghyun (Joe) Lee

Hi, I’m Joe, and I am an Industrial Engineering student at the University of Toronto. I’m currently working at the Dynamic Optimization and Reinforcement Learning Lab, working on Constrained Multi-Objective Reinforcement Learning(CMORL).

Previously, I worked as an undergraduate research assistant at the SED lab and completed my military service with ROK SWC.

Over the next few years, I hope to dive deeper into machine learning, strengthen my programming skills, and gain more hands-on experience through both my internship and research. I’m also hoping to pursue an undergraduate thesis during my forth year.

More than anything, I’m driven by a desire to understand the tools I use — not just apply them, but really grasp how and why they work. Like Feynman said, “What I cannot create, I do not understand.” There’s a real sense of gratification in that kind of deep, hands-on learning — it’s what keeps me curious and motivated.

In my free time, I enjoy making coffee, playing electric guitar, and cooking!

What I’m reading:

• Deep Reinforcement Learning Hands-On 3rd edition
• Designing Machine Learning Systems
• Principles - Ray Dalio
• Mathematics for Machine Learning
