Yunho (Ricky) Kim

I am currently a master student at KAIST (Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology) advised by Jemin Hwangbo. My research interest includes Robotics and Machine Learning. Before joining Jemin's group at KAIST, I received my BS at Seoul National University majoring in mechanical engineering.
