Hello, I’m Minhyuk!
I'm a Ph.D. student at UIUC Mechanical Science and Engineering, passionate about all kinds of robotics and learning-based control. I bring an interdisciplinary background in AI and mechanical engineering, grounded in strong mathematics in control theory and hands-on hardware experience that gives me system-level insight. I believe researchers who understand the full system architecture can make the greatest impact! [CV]
