Jaemin Lee

Jaemin Lee is an Assistant Professor at North Carolina State University's Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering. His research focuses on safety-critical control systems, motion planning, and hybrid dynamical systems for legged and multi-contact robots, aiming to develop safe, efficient robotic systems for human interaction and unstructured environments.

• Ph.D. in Robotics and Control from The University of Texas at Austin (2022)
• Postdoctoral Scholar at Caltech (2022-2024)
• M.S. in Robotics from Seoul National University (2012)
• B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Konkuk University (2010)

His work spans hierarchical control architectures, control barrier functions for safety verification, and data-driven methods integrating model discrepancy. He has developed algorithms for real-time model predictive control, robust locomotion under disturbances, and reachability-based motion planning.

Recent publications focus on safety-critical control (2023-2024), hierarchical relaxation techniques (2023), and variable inertia models for bipedal maneuvers (2024). His research integrates control theory with practical robotic implementations across quadrupedal, bipedal, and aerial manipulators.

Jaemin has served as a reviewer for major robotics conferences and journals including IROS, ICRA, and IEEE Transactions on Robotics. He leads the HIER Lab at NCSU, continuing his collaboration with Caltech's Mechanical and Civil Engineering Department.
