Jihun Moon

I am a 4th-year undergraduate student in Mechanical Engineering at Seoul National University, where I am advised by Prof. Seong-Woo Kim.

My research interests lie in Robotics, World Models, and Adaptive Learning. My goal is to build an embodied Intelligence that can recognize itself and experience the world as a matter of survival.
