I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at Inha University.
My research focuses on collaborative spatial intelligence for autonomous robots operating in complex real-world environments.
At SPARO Lab, we develop multi-robot systems that can perceive, adapt, and collaborate in challenging environments.
My research interests include multi-robot SLAM, robust multimodal perception, and long-term autonomy, with applications spanning planetary exploration, maritime robotics, and field robotics.
Before joining Inha University, I was an Assistant Professor in the Department of Robotics Engineering at Yeungnam University and a postdoctoral researcher at KAIST.
I received my Ph.D. from KAIST through the Civil and Environmental Engineering and Robotics programs, advised by Prof. Ayoung Kim, and my M.S. from KAIST, advised by Prof. Myungjin Chung.
I received my B.E. from Inha University.
