About Me

Hello! I'm John Teyun Kwon, a DPhil candidate at the University of Oxford. The DPhil is part of the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Autonomous Intelligent Machines and Systems, which encompasses research in machine learning, robotics & vision, cyber-physical systems, and control & verification.

Currently, my research interest is in neural speech decoding. I'm supervised by Dr Oiwi Parker Jones at PNPL within the Oxford Robotics Institute, where the aim of the lab is to apply deep learning techniques to large-scale non-invasive neural data to decode inner speech.

Most recently, I completed my research internship at the Robot Learning Lab at Imperial College London. I worked on zero-shot trajectory generation capabilities of LLMs for robot manipulation tasks, supervised by Dr Edward Johns.

Before that, I completed an MSc in Advanced Computing and an MSc in Computing Science, both at Imperial. I completed my undergraduate degree in Classics at the University of Cambridge, where I was a Cambridge Trust Scholar.

Outside of my studies, I enjoy playing sports (football, squash and shooting), playing and listening to music, and all things art- and design-related (drawing, printmaking, photography, graphic design).
