Chanmi Lee

Ph.D. Candidate at KAIST

I am a Ph.D. student in the School of Computing at KAIST, affiliated with the SGVR Lab under the supervision of Prof. Sung-Eui Yoon.

Guided by a vision of seamless human-robot symbiosis, my research focuses on developing trustworthy Embodied AI and Robot Foundation Models (RFMs). Specifically, I am dedicated to enhancing model robustness against adversarial attacks and ensuring safe operation in Out-of-Distribution (OOD) environments.

I am always open to academic exchange and collaboration, feel free to reach out!
