Biography

I am currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Civil Engineering at Georgia Tech. Being advised by Dr. Yong K. Cho, I’m working in the RICAL research team. My research interest is centered on Construction Automation based on UAV & UGV, 3D Scene Understanding using lidar, and GIS.

I received a BE in Architectural Engineering and a MS in Civil Engineering both at Seoul National University. I worked in the SPatial INformatics group under the supervision of Yongil Kim and Kiyun Yu. After then, as an early startup team member of UITI Co., I engaged in the launch of the web service, that is 집현전.
