I am a first-year combined M.S./Ph.D. student at Sungkyunkwan University (SKKU), South Korea, advised by Prof. Sungeun Hong in the Artificial Intelligence and Media Lab (AIM Lab). My research focuses on embodied AI. I am particularly interested in developing Vision-Language-Action models. I am also interested in Field AI Robotics (e.g., underwater robotics).
I am always open to discussing new ideas and external collaborations in embodied AI and field robotics. Feel free to contact me by email or LinkedIn.
