Hello! I'm a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), advised by Prof. Sung-Eui Yoon. Currently I am a member of Scalable Graphics, Vision, and Robotics (SGVR) Lab. I am also having the privilege of working closely with Prof. Daehyung Park at KAIST.

- Research interest:
I am particularly interested in increasing the autonomy of robots in various ways: πŸ§‘β€πŸ’»βž‘πŸ€–βž•πŸ§ . My research interest spans the following keywords: Reinforcement learning, Deep learning, Robotics, Motion generation/planning, Task and Motion planning, Control, Navigation, Graphics, etc. You may think my interests are broad, but I am always curious about new research fields and have a great interest in connecting different fields. There is also a belief that all fields are eventually connected as one. I am currently dedicated to advancing constraint-satisfying motion generation and enhancing the safety of real-world robot deployment.
