I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Robotics and Mechatronics Engineering at DGIST, where I lead the Autonomy and Perceptual Robotics Lab (APRL). I also hold joint appointments in the Department of Artificial Intelligence and the Mechanical Engineering Track at DGIST.

Before joining DGIST, I was a Research Scientist at NAVER LABS (2021–2024), working on autonomous driving and 3D vision. I received my PhD, MS, and BS from KAIST, all in Civil and Environmental Engineering, under the guidance of Prof. Ayoung Kim.

My research focuses on enabling robots to perceive and navigate the real world robustly and efficiently — through SLAM, 3D reconstruction, sensor fusion, and spatial AI.
