👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolHochul Hwang is a PhD candidate in Computer Science at UMass Amherst and a Robotics & ML intern at Glidance, bringing eight years of research and engineering experience in humanoid and assistive robotics. He focuses on enabling robots to perceive accurately and locomote robustly to support human mobility, blending control, perception, and human-robot interaction studies. As a long-term researcher in the DARoS lab, he couples rigorous academic work with hands-on system building from his mechatronics background at Hanyang University. His internships at KIST and earlier research at UT Austin reflect a track record of translating lab prototypes into real-world-capable systems. Colleagues know him for pursuing safety and efficiency in physical human-robot collaboration as much as for pushing algorithms that improve everyday mobility assistance.
