Postdoctoral Researcher at Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST)

About Me

I am a postdoctoral research in the Urban Robotics Lab. at KAIST. I obtained my Ph.D in the School of Electrical Engineering and Robotics Program, KAIST. During my PhD course, I worked with Prof. Hyun Myung at the Urban Robotics Lab. My current research interests lie in the area of control, reinforcement learning, and the interplay between them for highly resilient field robotics applications.
