A student team of seniors, Lee Seo-Joon and Ha Seong-Ho, majoring in computer engineering at Pukyong National University (President Jang Young-Soo), won the best paper award at the 2022 conference hosted by the Korea Internet of Things Society.

They were recently recognized for their excellent research results at the National Academic Conference held at Pukyong National University for their thesis, ‘hairstyling demonstration techniques using deepfake’ (Advisory Prof. Kim Tae-Kook).

With this award-winning work, students received good reviews by proving the results of research that, when a portrait photo is uploaded, a deepfake video in which a customized hairstyle suitable for the face shape is synthesized and automatically created, allowing students to virtually experience hairstyles from various directions as a video.

Kim Tae-Kook, the advisory professor said, “I think that students have achieved good results by designing products that can be used in real life by using the knowledge related to computer science learned in undergraduate school, applying artificial intelligence, and implementing software.”
