Wonjong Lee

I am a M.S. student in Artificial Intelligence at Sogang University, advised by Prof. Changjoo Nam at the AI Robotics Lab. I will be joining Prof. Yoonchang Sung's lab at Nanyang Technological University (NTU). My research interests focus on Multi-robot Navigation, Decentralized Control Systems, and Multi-Agent Path Finding.

Given just a robot, coffee, and a laptop, I can work happily anytime, anywhere.
