About

I am an incoming Integrated M.S./Ph.D. student at KAIST, advised by Prof. Kimin Lee. My long-term vision is to build robot agents that can autonomously reason, make decisions, and self-correct their behaviors. To this end, I am focusing on Human-Robot Interaction and learning from human demonstrations to address the robot data bottleneck for training Robot Foundation Models. Currently, I work as a Research Intern at KAIST RISE Lab, advised by Prof. Kimin Lee, and as a Member of Technical Staff at Config, supervised by Ph.D. Hyungmok Son and co-advised by Prof. Kimin Lee, Prof. Minjoon Seo, and Sungdong Kim.
