I’m doing software engineering internship at IHMC in Florida 🏖️ this summer!

My new paper STATE-NAV, the first learning-based traversability estimation and navigation for humanoids on diverse rough terrain, is now on ArXiv!

I am…

a Ph.D. student in Robotics working in LiDAR Group and Lunar Lab at Georgia Tech, advised by Prof. Ye Zhao and Prof. Lu Gan, specializing in humanoid and legged robot navigation, perception, control, and state estimation. My work focuses on:

🌍 Autonomous humanoid navigation & planning
🎯 State estimation & perception systems for legged robots
🤖 Reinforcement learning & optimal control for legged robots

With this techincal developments, I believe robots with robustness to environmental uncertainties can help people be free from labor in hazardous and extreme environments.

Before that, I earned my Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from KAIST, where I conducted research in legged robot state estimation in DRCD Lab under Prof. Hae-Won Park.
