A data-driven TCN approach captures the nonlinear, history-dependent characteristics of cable actuation, enabling real-time hysteresis compensation. Reduces position error by 61.4% (13.7 → 5.29 mm) and orientation error by 64.0% (31.2° → 11.2°).
Researcher, DEEPNOID · M.S., DGIST (2026)
I am an AI researcher at DEEPNOID (alternative military service), working on medical foundation models for chest X-ray, CT, and MRI — vision-language modeling, self-supervised learning, and report generation.
I received my M.S. in Robotics & Mechatronics Engineering and B.E. in Computer Science & Electrical Engineering (double major, summa cum laude) from DGIST, advised by Prof. Minho Hwang. In the summer of 2023, I interned at the Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, advised by Prof. Synho Do and Prof. Kyungsu Kim.
My research aims toward fully automated surgical pipelines — AI-driven diagnosis from medical imaging, coupled with continuum manipulators that navigate natural orifices to perform scar-free interventions.

An extensible cable-driven continuum manipulator with a semi-active mechanism (SAM) and a TCN-based real-time hysteresis compensation algorithm. SAM improves lesion access, while TCN-based compensation enhances accuracy.
OFF-CLIP uses an off-diagonal loss and sentence-level text filtering to improve normal detection and reduce false negatives, enhancing both zero-shot classification and anomaly localization.
Controlled vibration reduces friction and dead zones in tendon-sheath mechanisms, improving trajectory tracking. Combined with DL-based hysteresis compensation, achieves 85% reduction in hysteresis.
A machine learning approach to determine the optimal robot base pose based on a surgeon's working pattern. End-effector pose clustering identifies key positions, with scoring that accounts for joint limits and singularities.
The first in-hospital adaptation of a cloud-based LLM into a secure, on-premise model for radiology report analysis. A sentence-level contrastive knowledge distillation achieves >95% accuracy in anomaly detection while preserving patient privacy.
SD-GRPO decomposes long-form generation into verifiable segments and z-normalizes per-segment rewards across the rollout group, yielding a vector of per-segment advantages rather than a single sequence-level signal. It plugs into existing GRPO frameworks such as Dr. GRPO with minimal overhead and delivers consistent gains across dense image captioning, long-form VQA, and real-world scientific figure captioning.
A radiology VLM that aligns text to only the query-relevant image patches via a sparse sigmoid gate, with feature regularization to a frozen SSL teacher. Enables zero-shot classification, grounding, and segmentation on both chest X-ray and 3D CT from free-text queries.
A double-pass tendon loop routed alongside the actuation tendon-sheath mechanism, enabling proximal sensing of both input and output tensions without distal sensors. A learning-based mapping infers configuration-dependent hysteresis for feedforward compensation, cutting tracking RMSE by 88.1%.
MarUco, a markerless 6D pose estimation framework for closed-loop control of surgical continuum manipulators using only stereo vision. A photo-realistic pseudo-rigid-body simulation pipeline generates annotated data without manual labeling, and a multi-feature fusion network with a single-pass render-and-compare refinement reaches 0.78 mm / 3.07° pose accuracy at 52.4 ms per stereo pair. In closed-loop visual servoing, it cuts mean terminal translation error to 1.8 mm — an 88% reduction over open-loop control.
