Ph.D. Student in Civil Engineering, The University of Texas at Austin

I am a Ph.D. student in Civil Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin, advised by Dr. Christian Claudel in the MASS Lab. I work on robotics, sensing, and augmented reality for automated civil and construction systems, with a focus on robots for construction sites and factories.

I received my M.S. in Civil Engineering from UT Austin and my B.S. in Architectural Engineering from Hanyang University. During my M.S., I was a grantee of the U.S.–Korea Fulbright Presidential STEM Initiative.
