About me

I’m a GN&C research engineer at Nara Space Technology in Seoul, South Korea.

Previously I did my Ph.D. at the Space Rendezvous Laboratory (SLAB) in the Department of Aeronautics & Astronautics at Stanford University advised by Dr. Simone D’Amico. There, my research covered the complete pipeline of machine learning development for spaceborne computer vision applications, from dataset generation and neural network design to on-ground validation and integration into GNC algorithms. Potential applications of my research include space situational awareness and logistics, such as active debris removal, inspection and refueling of defunct satellites.
