Welcome to my personal website.

I am a graduate research student pursuing a Master's degree in Aerospace Engineering at KAIST. As a member of the Laboratory for Information and Control Systems (LiCS), I am advised by Professor Hanlim Choi. My research focuses on control theory, optimization, and their applications to spacecraft GNC and robotics.
