Dr. Jeon Tae-gyun earned his Ph.D. in computer vision and machine learning from Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology. In 2017, he was selected as a Google Developer Expert and participated in Google's annual seminars, where he consulted with developers worldwide on AI-related topics.

Jeon Tae-ho, Acting Director, expressed, "This lecture will be a great opportunity to learn about various AI technologies used in cutting-edge aerospace fields," and added, "We hope many future space scientists interested in AI and space will actively participate."

The special lecture commemorating World Space Week is open to anyone aged 10 and above interested in space and related technologies. Attendance is limited to 150 people on a first-come, first-served basis through online reservation.
