Hello, I’m Joonkyung Kim!

About Me

I am a Ph.D. student in Computer Science and Engineering at Texas A&M University, advised by Prof. Yiwei Lyu. I received my B.S. and M.S. degrees in Electronic Engineering from Sogang University, where I worked at the AI Robotics Lab under Prof. Changjoo Nam. From Aug. 2024 to Feb. 2025, I was a Visiting Scholar at Carnegie Mellon University.

Recently, I have been interested in multi-agent systems for robotics, including multi-robot systems with heterogeneous robots, human–robot interaction, and related safety issues. As robots continue to move from ideas seen in films into real world environments, I have become especially interested in the practical challenges of deploying robots in everyday life. I enjoy seeing these challenges gradually solved through research and hope to contribute to making robotic systems safer and more reliable for real world use.
