Hello, I’m Joonkyung! 😃

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

My research focuses on safe and reliable robotic systems for real-world and multi-agent environments. I am particularly interested in ensuring safety under uncertainty and enabling collaboration among multiple agents, with the long-term goal of integrating robots into complex, human-centered settings.

Research Interests: Multi-Robot/Agent Systems, Safety Control, Navigation, Safe AI for Robotics
