I work on automated vehicles and mobility services in mixed traffic, where automated vehicles share the road with human drivers. I'm interested in three levels of the problem: how an automated vehicle predicts and plans around other road users, including V2X and cooperative driving; how shared autonomous fleets such as robotaxis are matched, routed, and rebalanced; and how people choose these services and what that changes for congestion, VKT, and transit. Across all three, I want to use AI methods: learned prediction and planning, reinforcement learning, and LLM-based agents.
I started my M.S. at KAIST in March 2026 and take part in three national R&D projects on autonomous driving. Before that I studied Urban Planning and Engineering at Yonsei University, with a minor in Applied Statistics. My capstone there used LLM-based persona simulation to forecast demand for autonomous ride-hailing.
