Sangoh Lee


Ph.D. Student in POSTECH DSLab

Hi! I'm Sangoh Lee, a Ph.D. student in the Graduate School of Artificial Intelligence at POSTECH, advised by Professor Wook-Shin Han in the Data Systems Lab. My research focuses on Physical AI, World Models and Vision-Language Action Models, and I have previously worked on Natural Language Processing, Knowledge Graph Question Answering, and AI for Databases (AI4DB). I highly believe that physical intelligence will be the next big leap in AI, and I'm excited to contribute to this transformative field!

I completed my B.S. in Electrical Engineering at POSTECH with a GPA of 4.25/4.3 (Salutatorian, rank: 2/256), achieving a perfect GPA (4.3/4.3) in major-specific courses — the highest GPA ever recorded in the Department of Electrical Engineering.

My recent work includes research on cardinality estimation and knowledge graph querying, with publications at ACM SIGMOD 2024 and EMNLP 2025.
