Professor Seok-Jun Buu is a faculty member in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Gyeongsang National University.

He received his Ph.D. in Computer Science from Yonsei University under the supervision of Professor Seong-Bae Cho. His current research focuses on addressing two real-world challenges: manufacturing AI and security AI. These problems are approached using three core methodologies: applied deep learning, advanced deep learning, and neuro-symbolic AI.

The AI Systems and Applications Laboratory (AISA Lab), led by Professor Buu, operates with a structured strategy that emphasizes solving practical and complex problems faced by industry and society. The lab’s research topics include phishing detection, blockchain-based anomaly analysis, sensor-driven anomaly detection in manufacturing, multimodal signal interpretation, and explainable AI model design. It is committed to both technical excellence and real-world effectiveness.

Over the past ten years, the team has published 115 peer-reviewed papers, and in the past two years alone, Professor Buu has served as the principal investigator on 15 research projects. The lab’s technical capability has also been demonstrated through recognition at the national level. In particular, it received the Grand Prize in the AI Manufacturing Data Analysis Competition hosted by the Ministry of SMEs and Startups, underscoring its contribution to practical AI deployment.

Professor Buu believes that education and research are inherently connected. His teaching emphasizes hands-on, problem-driven learning where students gain not only theoretical knowledge but also the ability to apply it. These efforts have been recognized through accolades, including an Outstanding Teaching Award from the university.

AISA Lab is grounded in the philosophy that artificial intelligence should aim not only to build models but to clearly define and solve complex problems in the real world.

The lab values creativity that emerges within well-designed systems, rather than unbounded freedom. It is on this foundation that AISA Lab is built and continues to grow.
