Woojeh Chung

Hey everyone!
I am a first-year master’s student in the Existential Robotics Lab at UC San Diego, advised by Prof. Nikolay Atanasov.
Previously, I earned a B.S. in Computer Science (minor in Statistics) from Arizona State University,
where I worked with Prof. Suren Jayasuriya and Prof. Kookjin Lee.

My research centers on learning-based robotic perception and control.
Below are some keywords of my research interests:

Outside research I enjoy playing soccer ⚽️, bouldering 🧗, brewing coffee ☕️, and cooking 🍽️.

[Jun. 2025] I have started my internship at Amazon as Jr. Applied Scientist!
[Jun. 2025] Our paper has been selected as Spotlight to RSS 2025 RoboReps Workshop!
[Sep. 2024] I have started my Master’s degree in Computer Science at UC San Diego!
[Jul. 2024] Our paper has been accepted to ECCV 2024!
[May. 2024] I have graduated from Arizona State University with summa cum laude honors!
