I am a student, eager to learn more.
I am a student, eager to learn more.
Hi! I am a Ph.D. student in Mechanical Engineering at University of California, Berkeley. I am working in ICON lab under Prof. Negar Mehr, where I am working on using control theory and machine learning to control dual manipulators.
Prior to Berkeley, I earned my B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Yonsei University, where I gained experience as an research assistant in the Machine Learning and Control Systems Lab under Prof. Jongeun Choi. I worked on MPCs and RL for autonomous driving and contact-rich manipulation.
My research interests lie in machine learning, optimal control, manipulation, and multi-agent systems.
