Dongjae Lee
I am a first-year Ph.D. student in Mechanical Engineering at the RPM Robotics lab, Seoul National University, advised by Prof. Ayoung Kim.
My research interests include LiDAR-based Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM), Lifelong Mapping, and Global Localization, with a focus on developing robust and efficient algorithms for autonomous navigation and mapping in dynamic environments. I am particularly interested in leveraging multi-session sensor data with temporal variations for reliable autonomy.
