Teaching machines to see — and drive.
Intelligent Robotics & Computer Vision Lab · Hanyang University
I’m a Master’s researcher at the Intelligent Robotics & Computer Vision Lab, Hanyang University, working on vision-centric autonomous driving.
My current research focuses on Gaussian Splatting for autonomous driving and Online Mapping — asking how modern 3D scene representations can reshape the next generation of perception and planning.

3rd Place
Swin-Trajectory
Vision-based End-to-End Driving · Waymo Open Dataset Challenge (CVPR 2025)
A minimalist transformer-based waypoint planner that takes a single front-facing camera and structured ego-vehicle history as input. A lightweight Swin Transformer backbone cross-attends to dynamic waypoint queries to efficiently regress future trajectories — competitive with much heavier multi-sensor baselines.
Deep thanks to my teammates and supervisor — and to RideFlux for technical support and collaboration.

Autonomous Valet Parking System
Capstone Design Project — full-stack autonomy
End-to-end pipeline — Perception → Planning → Control — for a self-parking vehicle, built solo. Integrated BEV-based perception, motion planning, and an adaptive pure-pursuit controller into a single coherent system. The cornerstone of my academic path into autonomy.
