ABOUT

Researching Intelligent Systems for Space.

Profile

I am a graduate student at Yonsei University. I graduated from the Department of Astronomy and Space Science at Kyung Hee University in February 2025 with a GPA of 4.047/4.3, and entered Yonsei University in March 2025.
I am currently a member of the Autonomous Spacecraft and Robotic Systems Laboratory (ASPROS), where I conduct research under the supervision of Professor Hancheol Cho.
My research interests include vision-based navigation, space situational awareness (SSA), and AI applications for spacecraft systems. For my master’s thesis, I am conducting research on deep learning-based pose estimation for non-cooperative spacecraft.
I am also collaborating with Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University to develop an AI model for predicting debris trajectories in the cislunar region. In the future, I hope to study LiDAR-based pose estimation for unknown and uncooperative spacecraft.
