I am currently a postdoctoral scholar at the KAIST Institute for Robotics.
I earned my PhD at KAIST in February 2025, advised by Prof. Il-chul Moon (AAILAB) and co-advised by Prof. Jaemyung Ahn (SAI). Previously, I worked at the Agency for Defense Development, where I participated in R&D for the missile defense system.
