Professor Hyeonjoon Moon received the B.S. degree in Electronics and Computer Engineering from Korea University in 1990. He received the M.S. and the Ph.D. degrees from Electrical and Computer Engineering at State University of New York at Buffalo in 1992 and 1999, respectively.

From November 1993 to July 1994, he was a researcher in Samsung Data Systems (SDS) in Seoul, Korea. From January 1996 to October 1999, he was a senior research in Electro-Optics/Infrared Image Processing Branch at U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL) in Adelphi, MD. He developed high performance projection-based face recognition system with high classification accuracy and low computational complexity. Also, he designed a face recognition system evaluation methodology based on the Face Recognition Technology (FERET) program.

From November 1999 to February 2003, he was a principal research scientist at Viisage Technology in Littleton, MA. His main interest is on research and development is on real-time facial recognition system for access control, surveillance, and database search applications. He has extensive background on still image and real-time video based computer and robot vision system and its evaluation methodology including Face Recognition Vendor Test (FRVT) 2000 and 2002.

From March 2003 to February 2004, he was an assistant professor at Yonsei University in Seoul, Korea. On March 2004, he has joined at the School of Computer Engineering at Sejong University.

As of September 2020, he is the Chairman of Department of Artificial Intelligence at School of Software Convergence. His current research interests include image processing, computer vision, pattern recognition, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning. Currently, he is Chairman of Computer Science & Engineering Department and Computer Vision & Pattern Recognitio (CVPR) Laboratory.
