Haegu Lee

I am a PhD student in robotics, working on contact-rich manipulation and control. My research focuses on force-distributed contact models, trajectory optimization, and sim-to-real transfer for robotic manipulation.

I am currently pursuing my PhD at University of Southern Denmark(SDU). My research interests are primarily in robotics, control, and learning-based methods.
