I am currently working as a postdoctoral researcher in the Christtofer group at SDU Robotics.

I received a Ph.D. in robotics from SDU Robotics in 2024. During the PhD journey, I worked with Universal Robots (UR) to solve the challenges of robotic polishing. In addition, I was a visiting student researcher at the Ames’ group, AMBER LAB, California Institute of Technology (Caltech) in 2023 and worked on safety guarantees in input-delayed systems.

Currently, my research topic revolves around safety-critical systems and in-hand manipulation with a multi-finger robotic hand (Shadow Robot).

News

I have been appointed as a Tenure-Track Assistant Professor in SDU Robotics at University of Southern Denmark, starting 1 Aug, 2026. Inquiries regarding South Korea–Denmark collaborative research are very welcome.
