About Me
Short Bio
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.
Research Interests
My research interests lie in robotic safety for real-world deployment, with a particular focus on environmental uncertainty and multi-agent interactions. My previous research has explored control-theoretic safety methods for heterogeneous multi-robot coordination, safe multi-robot navigation in mapless environments, and safety modules for foundation-model-based visual navigation.
More recently, I have been exploring safe decision-making and control through active information gathering under uncertainty. I am particularly interested in understanding how robots should represent their knowledge and uncertainty, how much information is sufficient to act safely, and what actions can be safely performed given the available information. I am also interested in how semantic understanding can help robots identify safety-critical uncertainties and determine what information is necessary for safe decision-making and control.
More broadly, I am also interested in exploring safety beyond traditional physical constraints, including semantic, decision-making, and human-centered considerations.
