🤖 About Me

I am a Ph.D. student in the Department of Artificial Intelligence at Korea University, advised by Professor Sungjoon Choi at the Robot Intelligence Laboratory (RILAB). My research focuses on robot motion retargeting, text-conditioned robot motion generation, and human–robot interaction. I work on system-level approaches that enable executable and interactive robot behavior in real-world settings.
