Junseob is interested in automation engineering, data analytics, machine learning, natural language processing, computer vision, and quantum computing. At Rensselaer, Junseob conducted research in computational epidemiology, building custom tools to turn unstructured disease-report PDFs into structured data and connecting disease datasets with satellite meteorological information for public-health analytics. Junseob led development of an automated extraction pipeline, writing 70–80% of the parsing and error-fixing code over two to three months. The work contributed to a peer-reviewed IEEE Big Data paper, on which Junseob was second author. Junseob has also supported computer science education as a course assistant, leading recitations, grading assessments, and helping more than 200 students in Foundations of Computer Science. Earlier, Junseob maintained secure IT infrastructure and communications systems in the Republic of Korea Air Force. Junseob brings experience in Python, C, Rust, FastAPI, databases, data cleaning, big data, and user interface design, and speaks Korean and English. ## Services - Artificial Intelligence \(AI\) - FastAPI - Machine Learning - Quantum Computing - User Interface Design - Databases - Computer Vision - Data Cleaning - Big Data - Natural Language Processing \(NLP\) - Mathematics - Teaching - Rust \(Programming Language\) - HTML - After Effects - Cubase - Blender - C \(Programming Language\) - Python \(Programming Language\) ## Highlights - Earned a master’s degree in Computer Science from Columbia University. - Earned a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. - Designed and implemented a research framework to convert unstructured disease reports into structured formats at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. - Led development of an automated PDF data-extraction pipeline over two to three months. - Wrote approximately 70–80% of the code for PDF parsing and error fixing in the automated extraction pipeline. - Built custom data-extraction and parsing tools from scratch. - Developed NLP-based methods to extract and structure “12+44” disease data from unstructured reports. - Integrated and aligned disease datasets with satellite meteorological data for public-health analytics and evidence-based interventions. - Served as second author on a peer-reviewed IEEE Big Data paper in computational epidemiology, DOI: 10.1109/BigData\[contact removed\]14. - Led Foundations of Computer Science recitation sessions for more than 20 students at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. - Supported the academic success of more than 200 students in the Foundations of Computer Science course. - Graded homework assignments and exams and provided actionable, detailed feedback to students. - Maintained and optimized unit-level IT infrastructure and communication systems as an IT Specialist in the Republic of Korea Air Force. - Managed secure network operations and supported information-system integrity in the Republic of Korea Air Force. ## Experience - **Course Assistant at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute** (2025-01-01–2025-05-01) — As Course Assistant at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, I conducted recitation sessions for the Foundation of Computer Science \(FoCS\) course, teaching complex concepts and reinforcing student understanding through detailed explanations.I evaluated homework assignments and exams, offering detailed feedback to help students strengthen their skills and performance.
