Researcher & Korean Medicine Doctor

About

I am a researcher in reinforcement learning and musculoskeletal control, as well as a licensed Korean medicine doctor.

My research focuses on applying reinforcement learning to the control of musculoskeletal models and using physics-based simulation to better understand human movement. I am particularly interested in how models learned through physics-based simulation can help interpret movement dysfunction and support clinical decision-making.

Research Interests

  • Reinforcement learning for biomechanical systems
  • Musculoskeletal modeling and control
  • Physics-based simulation of human movement
