I'm a Computer Science Ph.D. Student at University of California Davis, advised by Iman Soltani at Laboratory for AI, Robotics and Automation (LARA). Prior to UC Davis, I received a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering at Hanyang University in South Korea.
My research aims to enable human-like behaviors in robots by bridging learning and physical design. I focus on integrating human-inspired priors into the learning process and designing robotic systems that incorporate aspects of human sensorimotor capabilities, such as active vision, to enhance the synergy between perception, action, and embodiment.
