Hyungwook received his PhD in Developmental Psychology and Computational Modeling from the Ohio State University, where he worked with Vladimir Sloutsky. He was a Post-doctoral Research Fellow working with Simon Dennis, where he followed the lab from the University of Newcastle to the University of Melbourne in Australia. He is currently an Associate Professor in Cognitive Sciences at Hanyang University, Seoul, Korea. As a computational cognitive scientist, his research focuses on specifying the mechanisms that enable us to learn and acquire knowledge, and understanding how these learning mechanisms change over time, through experience, and development. Methodologically, he has been examining human behavior, and building computational models that better explain these behavioral patterns.
