I am a postdoctoral researcher at Robotics Institute, CMU. I obtained my Ph.D. and M.S. at KAIST, advised by Professor In So Kweon. I am a recipient of the Best Student Paper Award from WACV 2023.
My research focuses on developing a robust physical AI that can perceive and navigate the dynamic world in challenging conditions, with a specific interest in self-supervised learning of 3D geometry, reinforcement learning, multi-sensor fusion, and vision-action learning. I am interested in the following areas, but also open to other explorable/challenging domains.
