About

Hi! I’m a second-year Ph.D. student in Machine Learning at Georgia Tech, where I’m advised by Prof. Zsolt Kira. I am also currently a Student Researcher at Allen Institute for AI. Previously, I worked closely with Prof. Gunhee Kim at Seoul National University.

My research aims to build generalist robot policies that reason about the world and turn that reasoning into reliable action. In particular, I ask what spatial understanding a robot policy needs, and how that understanding should guide control.
