Jayjun Lee
Welcome! I'm a PhD student in Robotics at the University of Michigan and a Robotics Research intern at NVIDIA. I'm fortunate to be advised by Professor Nima Fazeli and to be a member of the Manipulation and Machine Intelligence (MMINT) Lab. My research focuses on Robot Learning – developing algorithms for robots to perceive and interact with the physical world. These days I'm interested in multi-modal (i.e. vision, tactile, F/T, language, audio) perception and learning representations to acquire contact- and force-rich manipulation skills.
Jayjun Lee is a 2nd Year MS Robotics student at the University of Michigan – Ann Arbor, working in the Manipulation and Machine Intelligance (MMINT) Lab. Previously, he worked with Prof. Joyce Chai in the Situated Language and Embodied Dialogue (SLED) Lab. He received his Bachelors in Electronic and Information Engineering at Imperial College London, where he was advised by Prof. Ad Spiers in the Manipulation and Touch Lab. He is broadly interested in robot learning, robotic manipulation, and spatial intelligence.
