About Me

I am an M.S. student in Artificial Intelligence at Seoul National University, advised by Prof. Jonghyun Choi. Currently, I am a research assistant at SNU Machine Perception and Reasoning Lab. I received my B.S. in Computer Science from Hanyang University in August 2025.

My ultimate goal is to develop general-purpose embodied agents that can perceive, reason, and interact with the physical world. To this end, my primary research interests include:

• Embodied AI: Building agents that perceive their surroundings, understand context and instructions, then generate appropriate behavior to accomplish tasks.
• Machie Learning: Integrating machine learning algorithms to enable efficient learning and knowledge transfer across diverse robot embodiments, tasks, and environments.
• Robotics: Advancing motion planning and control methods for robotic manipulation to achieve robust, seamless real-world execution.
