Contact: dongjaelee@khu.ac.kr
I am an Assistant Professor in the School of Mechanical Engineering at Kyung Hee University, where I lead the Agile Robotics and Systems Lab. Before joining Kyung Hee University, I was a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Robotics Institute, Carnegie Mellon University, co-advised by Prof. Guanya Shi and Prof. Sebastian Scherer. I received the B.S. and M.S. degrees in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering in 2018 and 2020, respectively, and the Ph.D. degree in Aerospace Engineering in 2025, all from Seoul National University, where I was advised by Prof. H. Jin Kim. In 2024, I was a visiting Ph.D. student in the Division of Decision and Control Systems at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, advised by Prof. Dimos V. Dimarogonas. My research interests span robotics and control broadly, with a particular focus on learning-based robot control and decision-making, aerial/cooperative manipulation, and whole-body control.
