Dr. Jeon’s areas of expertise lie in the fields of robotics, control theory, motion planning, optimization methods, autonomous systems, learning-based algorithms, and future mobility including self-driving cars and logistics robots. After years of research at MIT and four years of work at nuTonomy (a self-driving technology startup acquired by Delphi/Aptiv in 2017, later led to Motional, a joint venture by Aptiv and Hyundai Motor Company), he hopes to make everyone’s daily living safer and efficient by technological advances. His current focus of research is on 1) algorithms for robots and autonomous systems, 2) control theory and 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.
