I'm a Computer Science Ph.D. Student at University of California Davis, advised by Iman Soltani at LARA. Prior to UC Davis, I received a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering at Hanyang University in South Korea. I'm currently having a great time at working on agentic robotics.

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.

More recently, I've been exploring agentic robotics: robotic systems that reason about a task, decompose it into steps, and refine their own behavior. To me it's a natural extension of the same idea: pushing human-inspired priors up from low-level control into how robots think and plan.
