I am a Ph.D. Candidate majoring in Mechanical Engineering at Dongguk University, Korea, advised by Professor Soo-Chul Lim. I received Master of Science degree from the same university.

My research interests lie in Robotics, Robot Learning, Reinforcement Learning, and Human Robot Interaction. My research goal is to develop a robotic system capable of performing complex and diverse tasks akin to humans, while remaining robust to changes in the surrounding environment.
