Education:
- Ph.D. Student in Mechanical Engineering, The University of Texas at Austin
- B.S. in Mechanical Engineering, Kookmin University, South Korea
Research Interests:
My research focuses on novel, minimalist end‑effector hardware and control strategies that enable robots to thrive in contact‑rich environments. I design and prototype simple yet versatile grippers and wrists, develop actuation schemes that balance compliance with precision, and integrate proprioceptive sensing and force‑control loops to achieve safe, adaptive interaction. By fusing elegant mechanical design with lightweight control algorithms, I aim to give robotic hands the intuition and resilience needed for real‑world tasks.
Hobbies:
Running, Squash, and Travelling
