About Me

I earned my B.S. in Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) at KAIST, South Korea. After completing my undergraduate degree at KAIST, I pursued master’s studies in Mechanical Engineering (ME) at Seoul National University (SNU). I am currently a Ph.D. candidate under the guidance of Prof. Ayoung Kim in the RPM lab, Department of Mechanical Engineering at SNU.

My research primarily focuses on LiDAR sensor technologies, encompassing areas such as simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) and sensor fusion.
