I am currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electronics Engineering at Jeonbuk National University. Previously, I worked as a staff researcher at Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology (SAIT). I received my Ph.D. from Seoul National University, where I was advised by Professor Songhwai Oh. My research focuses on the visual navigation of embodied agents and interactive 3D perceptions of embodied agents. Prior to my Ph.D. studies, I earned a B.S. degree with great honors from Korea University in the Department of Electrical Engineering in 2016. I also had the opportunity to study abroad for a semester at the Australian National University. |
