Experience

Visiting Researcher — Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research

Rostock, Germany · Korea–Germany Junior Research Fellowship Program, 2023

Worked as a machine learning researcher on a project analyzing Twitter data with large language models, alongside Dr. Jisu Kim. Developed a framework for analyzing the demographic data of Twitter users combining LLMs with clustering methods.

Projects

VR Joystick Teleoperation for Isaac Lab with Meta Quest

GitHub Repository

VR-based robot teleoperation in NVIDIA Isaac Lab using a Meta Quest (Oculus) headset. Supports dual-arm manipulation and mobile-base movement.

Mathematical Optimization Theory Research

Undergraduate Research Intern · SKKU, Department of Mathematics

Studied optimization algorithms including Stein Variational Gradient Descent (SVGD) and Model Predictive Path Integral (MPPI). Developed a new method combining SVGD with the interior point method to improve convergence rate and stability.

Metaverse Platform

Metaverse Competition · Ministry of Education & NRF Korea, COSS

Built a metaverse platform that lets users interact with one another, using a proxy server and Python signaling to bridge Roblox and Discord.
