I work collaboratively, independently, and responsibly.
#🔎 Profile
I am pursuing a master’s degree at Sungkyunkwan University and conducting research with the Korea Institute of Industrial Technology on human–robot safety monitoring and image segmentation for food processing. My work includes RGB-D human–robot safety zones, unpeeled-area detection on potatoes, fish-part recognition, and ROS2-based robot systems.
I enjoy meaningful work, sustained thinking, and open discussion. Reading and exercising for at least an hour a day are part of my routine. I also play the drums as a hobby.

ICCAS 2026 · First author
This work estimates human joint positions using RGB-D cameras and constructs dynamic safety zones that account for approach velocity toward the robot and perception uncertainty.
#🔬 Research and projects
#Human–robot safety monitoring
Master’s research · Korea Institute of Industrial Technology and Sungkyunkwan University
- Studied methods for updating protective separation distances around robots using human joint positions obtained from multiple RGB-D cameras.
- Constructed safety zones incorporating human approach velocity toward individual robot links and perception uncertainty.
- Replayed recorded data from a UR5e environment to compare protective separation distance and robot-stop ratios against a fixed-reference approach.
#Potato-preprocessing automation · Unpeeled-area recognition
Collaborative KITECH project · Image collection and labeling; DeepLabV3
- Collected images and constructed segmentation labels distinguishing peeled and unpeeled regions on potato surfaces.
- Trained a DeepLabV3 segmentation model and reviewed predictions of remaining unpeeled regions.
#Seafood-processing automation · Fish-part recognition
Collaborative KITECH project · SAM-Adapter and DeepLabV3+
- Conducted image-segmentation research to distinguish major parts, including the head and body, in tuna-processing images.
- Used SAM-Adapter and compared and validated predictions against an existing segmentation model.
#Autonomous transport robot for small factories · Graduation project
March 2023–March 2024 · Four-person team · ROS2, Docker, PyQt5, Python, C++
- Designed hardware and the lift’s electrical system for a cart-type robot supporting factory transport and working-height adjustment.
- Built a Docker development environment and tuned ROS2 navigation parameters for confined spaces.
- Developed a GUI for lift-height settings, manual control, and robot-status monitoring.
