Hi, I'm Sukjun Kim!

I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the University of California, San Diego. 

How can we create tiny robots that surpass the capabilities of biological systems like ants or inchworms?  By leveraging advanced manufacturing methods, I design and build novel robotic actuators, sensors, and mechanisms that fully exploit the advantages of small scale. My ultimate goal is to develop fully autonomous and intelligent small-scale robots that can operate in real-world environments, empowering people across a wide range of applications.
