Hi! I am currently the Apollo 11 postdoctoral fellow at Purdue University. I received my M.S. and Ph.D. in the School of Aeronautics and Astronautics at Purdue University, advised by Prof. Kathleen Howell of the Multi-Body Dynamics Research Group. Prior to my graduate studies in the U.S., I earned my B.Sc. in Aerospace Engineering from Seoul National University, Korea. I was a visiting scholar at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), working with Prof. Jaemyung Ahn at the Strategic Aerospace Initiative (SAI).

My research focuses on astrodynamics, particularly spacecraft trajectory design, optimization, and multi-body dynamics.

Thanks for visiting—feel free to reach out if you’d like to connect about research, ideas, or potential collaborations!
