I recived a Ph.D. majoring in Mechanical Engineering at Dongguk University, Korea, advised by Professor Soo-Chul Lim. I received bachelor’s degree and 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.
