About me
I am a Ph.D. student at the Vehicle Intelligence Lab at Seoul National University. My research focuses on learning-based autonomous navigation, with particular emphasis on visual navigation, diffusion policy, and path planning.
Our lab develops and deploys field robots that perform autonomous driving in outdoor and off-road environments. Recently, my work has centered on improving the safety of learning-based navigation models.
