Hello, I’m Minhyuk!

I will be joining the UIUC MechSE Advanced Controls Research Lab as a PhD student in Fall 2025.

I earned my bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering and Artificial Intelligence at Seoul National University. My interests include:

  • Control Theory (Robust Control, Optimal Control, Adaptive Control, Learning-Based Control)
  • Safety Guarantee, Safety-Critical Systems (Multirotor, VTOL, Robotics, etc.)
  • Multi-agent Systems

Education

  • B.S. in Mechanical Engineering, Interdisciplinary Major in Artificial Intelligence, Seoul National University, 2025 Feb
    • GPA: 3.99 / 4.0, Outstanding B.S. Thesis Presentation Award
    • College of Engineering Outstanding Graduate Award, One of the Top 24 Graduates across the entire College of Engineering
