I am a first-year Ph.D. student in Robotics at Georgia Tech, advised by Dr. Sehoon Ha and working closely with Dr. Hae-Won Park.
Before my Ph.D., I received my Master's degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Georgia Tech and Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering and Computer Science and Engineering at Seoul National University.
My research goal is to develop learning-based control algorithms that enable robust, agile and interactive behaviors in human-centered environments. Currently, I am working on sim-to-real transfer for a humanoid robot by leveraging real-world data.
We introduce a learning framework for effectively training a humanoid locomotion policy that imitates the behavior of a model-based controller while extending its capabilities to handle more complex locomotion tasks.
We propose a learning framework that can bridge between model-based and learning-based approaches for legged robot control by imitating expert model predictive control (MPC) and fine-tuning the pre-trained policy with reinforcement learning.
