Hello. I’m Hyeokpenheim, a deep learning instructor with a Ph.D. from the KAIST School of Electrical Engineering. After working as a principal researcher at Samsung Electronics and as an adjunct lecturer at the School of Medicine at Sungkyunkwan University, I currently run Hyeokpenheim Academy. I am the author of *Easy! Deep Learning*, an introductory book on deep learning, and have 11 years of teaching experience, having taught approximately 3,000 students in total. I specialize in deep learning theory and PyTorch practice, covering CNNs, transformers, LLMs and vision models, diffusion, and more.
Rather than simply memorizing model architectures or equations, I explain why each idea emerged and how it works. Starting with intuitive analogies, I clarify the meaning of the equations and connect them to code, with the goal of helping learners explain what they have learned in their own words and build a foundation for reading papers in depth.
On the YouTube channel “Hyukpenheim,” we offer lectures ranging from basic mathematics and Python to advanced deep learning topics, as well as providing on-site lectures and training for schools, companies, and organizations.
