Director
With PR2 at CSAIL, Ray and Maria Stata Center, MIT, 2012.
I am Dr. Seong-Woo Kim (김성우) an Associate Professor of Graduate School of Engineering Practice, Adjunct Professor of Civil & Environmental Engineering (smart city major), Adjunct Professor of Technology Management, Economics and Policy Program, Adjunct Professor of Transdisciplinary Graduate Program in Smart City Global Convergence, Advisory professor of Ludic Culture Studies major (놀이문화학), and Study of Future major (미래학) in College of Liberal Studies, and Director of Autonomous Robot Intelligence Lab, Seoul National University. ARILab and VILab are jointly operated with Prof. Seung-Woo Seo. Before returning to SNU in 2014, I was a postdoctoral associate of Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology working with Prof. Marcelo H. Ang Jr. at National University of Singapore, Prof. Emilio Frazzoli and Prof. Daniela Rus at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. I am a pilot, coach who has primarily formed and trained teams composed of brilliant minds, and a faculty advisor and main sponsor of the solar car racing team at SNU. I enjoy both demolishing and constructing buildings and structures, bringing a hands-on approach to the projects. I have experiences in scaling up projects from small teams. [notion]
