About

About Me

I'm Jihoon Yun, an undergraduate at Seoul National University pursuing a triple major in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical & Computer Engineering, and Computer Science & Engineering. My research sits at the intersection of mechanism design and control — I'm drawn to robotics control, bio-inspired mechanisms, and origami-inspired structures. I currently work as an undergraduate researcher in the Robotics Laboratory, designing a throwing robot system, and I like building things that bridge clean theory with hardware that works in the real world.
