About me

I’m a Ph.D. candidate in the Intelligence and Information program at Seoul National University, affiliated with the Dynamic Robotic Systems Lab (DYROS) at SNU and the Advanced Robot Control Lab (ARC) at KIST.

My research interests include humanoid locomotion and whole-body control, safety-critical humanoid control, and reducing the sim-to-real gap for robust real-world robot deployment.
