Hi, I'm Jisu! I am a second-year Ph.D. student in the Interdisciplinary Program in Artificial Intelligence (IPAI) at Seoul National University, and a member of the M.IN.D Lab, where I am fortunate to be advised by Taesup Moon.
I obtained my Master's Degree in the Graduate School of AI at KAIST, in the Humanoid Generalization Lab directed by Beomjoon Kim. I received my Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science from Ewha Womans University. I was fortunate to work with Joseph Lim and Jaeheung Park.
Inspired by the coexistence portrayed in Detroit: Become Human, I want to build cognitive systems that learn through experience and adapt to the people sharing their environment. I view skills as flexible abstractions that agents represent, ground in context, and update through experience. My central interest is how scene understanding can guide changes in a robot's motions and subgoals, enabling capable, predictable, and human-aware behavior throughout long-horizon tasks.
I study how LLMs, VLMs, and VLAs can connect scene understanding with adaptive action. Around people, the same task may require a robot to pause, change its approach, or revise a subgoal as the scene changes. Does context actually influence the motion a robot executes? I investigate how to evaluate this capability across tasks and embodiments, and how those evaluations can inform interpretable policies for long-horizon adaptation.
Each paper below is tagged by where it sits on that loop.

Benchmarks whether foundation-model robot policies adjust low-level navigation to safety context. It uses matched scenes where obstacle semantics or safety demand changes, exposing failures like treating a baby too similarly to a rigid object.

Introduces option-aware, temporally abstracted value learning for offline goal-conditioned RL. By reasoning over options instead of only primitive actions, the agent can make more reliable long-horizon goal-reaching decisions from static datasets.
