I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Robotics and Intelligent System Engineering Lab (RISE LAB) at Sungkyunkwan University, supervised by Prof. Hyungpil Moon.

My research interests lie broadly in robot learning and robotic manipulation. I am particularly interested in learning-based approaches to robot policy learning, including imitation learning, reinforcement learning, and vision-language-action models.
