I am a Ph.D. student in Electrical Engineering at KAIST in the Urban Robotics Lab under the supervision of Prof. Hyun Myung.
My research focuses on learning-based motion planning, trajectory optimization, and reinforcement learning for agile aerial robots navigating unknown and cluttered environments. I am also interested in general-purpose robot policies and world models for planning and decision-making in field robotics.
Research interests
- Learning-based motion planning for agile aerial robots
- Reinforcement learning for robust autonomy and sim-to-real deployment
- Trajectory optimization and model predictive control for autonomous navigation
- General-purpose robot policies and world models for planning and decision-making in field robotics
