About
I am a PhD student in Robotics at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, working with Prof. Dimitra Panagou.
My research interests lie in learning for robot dynamics and control, model-based reinforcement learning, and sim-to-real transfer.
Prior to my PhD study, I was a robotics researcher at the AI Autonomy Technology Center of the Agency for Defense Development (ADD) in Korea. I fulfilled my mandatory military service for three years as a Research Officer for National Defense, jointly with the Republic of Korea Air Force.
I received my bachelor's degree (Summa Cum Laude) at the Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology (DGIST). There, I worked with Prof. Yongseob Lim and Prof. Gyeungho Choi on computer vision and control algorithms for autonomous driving.
Besides, I am a professional SCUBA diver (Open Water SCUBA Instructor @ PADI) and enjoy exploring the underwater world. I love to play tennis and video games. I am also very interested in photography, wine, and traveling.
