My research interests are centered around unseen object robotic manipulation, focusing on segmentation, grasping, and placement of novel objects using deep learning.
I completed my PhD under the supervision of Professor Kyoobin Lee at GIST from 2018 to 2024. During my doctoral studies, I interned as an Applied Scientist at Amazon Robotics in Berlin from 2023 to 2024. I am also a two-time recipient of the Samsung HumanTech Paper Awards in 2022 and 2023.
My research has been successfully applied to Amazon warehouse robots, furniture assembly, and human-robot collaboration. I am currently expanding my research on test-time adaptation and foundation models to enhance the robustness of robotic manipulation in unseen domains.
