About Me

I am a PhD candidate in Mechanical and Aeropsace Engieering at University of California, Los Angeles working with Prof. Jacob Rosen in the Bionics Lab. My research interests lie in the robotic automation of dental surgery, including kinematics optimzation, path planning, reinforcement learning, and human-robot-interaction control.

Before joining the Bionics Lab, I received B.S. in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering from Seoul National University, advised by Prof. Dongjun Lee. Afterward, I worked at LG Electronics for about two years, developing collaborative robot manipulators.
