Passionate about advancing robotics through innovative research and practical applications. Currently pursuing my graduate studies with a focus on safety-critical control.
I am a second-year master's student in Robotics at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. I am currently working in the Distributed Autonomous Systems and Control (DASC) Lab, advised by Prof. Dimitra Panagou. I completed my B.S. in Robotics Engineering (Information Control) at Kwangwoon University, Seoul in 2023.
My research interests span across autonomous navigation, with particular emphasis on safety-critical control, path and motion planning. With a strong foundation in control theory, I am passionate about developing innovative solutions that bridge the gap between theoretical research and practical applications in robotics and automation. Moving forward, I strive to integrate learning-based control to push the limits of robot capabilities and enable advanced desicion-making process.
