About

​​My research intersects the fields of human computer interaction, robotics, and haptics, exploring the design of novel physical interfaces. Two primary research directions are as below.

1. System-level design/evaluation of wearable haptic displays utilizing novel kinesthetic and vibrotactile feedback mechanisms

2. Component-level design/evaluation of soft/flexible actuators and structures enabled by various principles.

I completed my PhD in the SHAPE Lab at Stanford University. After PhD, I completed military service as a postdoc in the Soft Robotics & Bionics Lab at Seoul National University in Korea. Currently, I am a robotic algorithms and control engineer in the da Vinci SP team at Intuitive.

I spend most of my time prototyping. Other than that, I enjoy painting and driving to national parks.
