Jisu Han

Hi, I'm Jisu! I am a first-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.

My research interests lie in the intersection of robotics and machine learning. I am interested in developing foundation models for robotics that can generalize to new tasks and environments.
