Yoonchang Sung

Postdoctoral Fellow

Dr. Yoonchang Sung is a postdoctoral fellow in the Learning Agents Research Group within the Computer Science Department at the University of Texas at Austin, hosted by Prof. Peter Stone. He is interested in building intelligent robots that can plan efficiently, learn from past experience, and reason about their decisions and other agents. In particular, he designs algorithms for task and motion planning and multi-robot systems that he expects to be both theoretically and practically useful.
