About me

I am a postdoc at Caltech. I am currently working in the AMBER Lab with Prof. Aaron Ames. I received my B.S. in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Seoul National University, and my M.S. at Seoul National University supervised by Prof. Jaeheung Park. I completed my Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering at Virginia Tech, advised by Prof. Kaveh Akbari Hamed.

I will be joining as a tenure-track Assistant Professor in the Department of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering at the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) this fall and am actively recruiting Ph.D. students for Spring 2026 and Fall 2026. I welcome inquiries from prospective students interested in pursuing a Ph.D. in robotics, autonomy, and control theory. I am also actively looking for highly motivated undergraduate and master's students who are interested in research opportunities. For more information, please visit my prospective students page.
