Yu-Wing TAI joined the Department of Computer Science at the Korean Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) in July 2009. He received his Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from the National University of Singapore (NUS) in 2009. From Sept 2007 to June 2008, he worked as a full-time student internship in the Microsoft Research Asia (MSRA). He was awarded the Microsoft Research Asia Fellowship in 2007. He received a M.Phil and B.Eng (First Class Honors) degree in Computer Science from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) in 2005 and 2003 respectively.

His research interests include computer vision, and image/video processing.
