I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering at KAIST. I am working on the robust integration of control and machine learning.
My research interests include provably correct control and decision making, optimization-based control, learning for control, reachability analysis, cyber-physical systems, networked dynamical systems, autonomous vehicles, and intelligent transportation systems.
