Jun Kim

I am a Graduate Researcher at UCLA RoMeLa, advised by Prof. Dennis Hong. Previously, I worked as a Mechanical Design Engineer at Samsung Electronics, where I played a key role in the mechanical design and mass production of the Galaxy Watch series. Bringing my industry experience in DFM (Design for Manufacturing) and precision engineering to robotics, I am currently researching humanoid hardware platforms, focusing on robotic hands and robotic skin.
