I am a doctoral student in computer science based in Zurich, Switzerland 🇨đź‡. From 2019, I am a scientific assistant of the Computational Robotics Lab, ETH Zurich, under the supervision of Prof. Stelian Coros.
The goal of my research is to create legged robots that exhibit natural and animal-like behaviors. Thus, my research interests are broad ranging from legged locomotion control to computational methods for motion and behavior synthesys.
Apart from my professional bio, I am originally from Seoul, South Korea 🇰🇷. Describing myself, I am a fan of video games, sci-fi movies and a classical music lover.
