Connecting computer vision, AI, and robotics with the needs of construction sites.

Georgia Institute of Technology

I am currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Civil Engineering at Georgia Tech, advised by Dr. Yong K. Cho. As a member of the Robotics and Intelligent Construction Automation Lab (RICAL), my research combines 3D perception, robotics, and AI agents to turn construction-site observations into actionable information grounded in site evidence.

At Seoul National University, I worked in the Spatial INformatics group under the supervision of Dr. Yongil Kim and Dr. Kiyun Yu. Following that, I gained experience as a GIS-focused startup entrepreneur, leading a government-funded project on business site selection.
