Sanghun Jung

I am a third-year PhD student at the University of Washington, where I am advised by Byron Boots. I am interested in visual learning for robotics, bridging the gap between visual perception and robot planning/control. My recent research covers general robot perceptions problems in off-road navigation including traversability prediction from visual cues by self-supervision and representation learning from LiDAR and images.
