Jonghyeok Kim
I am a Ph.D. Candidate in Mechanical Engineering at POSTECH (Pohang University of Science and Technology), South Korea, working in the Robotics Lab advised by Prof. Wan Kyun Chung.
My research focuses on robot control with geometric perspective, interaction control, bimanual task and robot hand manipulation.
I am aiming to complete my Ph.D. this year(2026) and plan to pursue a postdoctoral position starting in 2028. (졸업 이후, 2027년 한 해는 전문연구요원 제도로 복무할 예정이라 그 기간에는 해당 의무를 수행하고, 2028년부터 포닥 연구원으로의 연구 활동을 계획하고 있습니다.)
If you are interested in my research or have potential postdoctoral opportunities, I would greatly appreciate your consideration!
