Intro
Dr. Jeon’s areas of expertise lie in the fields of control theory, motion planning, optimization methods, robotics, autonomous systems, and future mobility including self-driving cars. After years of research at MIT and four years of work at nuTonomy (a self-driving technology startup acquired by Delphi/Aptiv in 2017), he hopes to make everyone’s daily living safer and efficient by technological advances we are already seeing and we need to further develop. His current focus of research is on 1) algorithms in robotics and autonomous systems, 2) control theory & applications, 3) the design, development, and deployment of future mobility system and many of its components with maximized safety and efficiency, ultimately aiming for zero traffic fatality. Very often, research outcomes in robotics and control theory lead to the improved future mobility system.
