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 earned my M.S. in Electronic Engineering from Sogang University, where I worked in the AI Robotics Lab under Prof. Changjoo Nam. From Aug. 2024 to Feb. 2025, I was a Visiting Scholar at Carnegie Mellon University.

My research centers on decentralized multi-robot and multi-agent systems, particularly on risk-aware and uncertainty-aware safe control for heterogeneous agents. I aim to develop principled approaches for ensuring safety, robustness, and reliable decision making in interactive and dynamic environments.

Previously, my work focused on decentralized navigation using onboard perception modalities (e.g., 2D LiDAR, monocular cameras), addressing safety and conflict resolution in multi-robot settings.

If you would like to chat or connect, I'd be happy to hear from you!
