Hello, 

I will be working at Rethink Robotics as Sr. Robotics Engineer from June 2016. I obtained my PhD at Purdue University in Electrical & Computer Engineering and in May 2016. During my PhD years, I worked as Research Assistant at Assistive Robotics Technology Lab (ART Lab) directed by Prof. C. S. George Lee. In 2012-2013, I was the Control Lead for ladder climbing task in DRC-Hubo team for DARPA Robotics Challenge (DRC) Trials. My research interests are whole-body motion control of humanoid robots and coordinated dual-arm motion control for various manipulation tasks. I graduated from Kwangwoon University in 2009 with Summa Cum Laude (1st/109) for Bachelor’s degree in Electronic Engineering.
