Welcome to my website. My name is
Byung-Cheol Min, and I go by "B.C.". I am an Associate Professor
and University Faculty Scholar in the Department of Computer and
Information Technology at
Purdue University, where I direct the SMART Lab (www.smart-laboratory.org). I am an
affiliated faculty member with the Purdue Robotics Accelerator (PRA),
the Institute for Control, Optimization and Networks (ICON), and the Institute for a Sustainable
Future (ISF).
Since 2022, I co-lead the Realizing the Digital Enterprise (RDE) Research Impact Area, which includes
60 faculty members from six departments across the college to
stimulate multi-disciplinary collaboration using socio-technical
approaches. I received a B.S. degree in Electronics Engineering
and a M.S. in Electronics and Radio Engineering with a
specialization in Automatic Control from Kyung Hee University in
2008 and 2010, a Ph.D. degree in Computer and Information
Technology with a specialization in Robotics from Purdue
University in 2014. From 2014 to 2015, I held a postdoctoral
fellow position at the Robotics Institute of Carnegie Mellon
University.
I am a roboticist. I conduct both basic
and applied research on robotics with regard to its scientific
and engineering aspects, and combine practical and theoretical
approaches to solve real-world problems. My research interests
stand at the intersection of human-robot interaction and
multi-robot systems, and I explore problems of planning and
control, algorithms, and robot learning in these areas and apply
them to field robotics and to assistive technology and robotics.
Recently, I have worked on designing algorithms and systems to
enable multiple robots to collaborate with each other in a
distributed way and to work with humans as a
multi-human-multi-robot team. I have also studied how learning
methods can enable robots to flexibly interact with any humans,
in any situation, anywhere.
I am a recipient of the NSF CAREER Award in 2019, and have
received numerous awards from my current university, including
the Purdue PPI Outstanding Faculty Award in
Discovery in 2019, the Purdue CIT Outstanding Graduate Mentor Award
in 2019, the Purdue CIT Outstanding Faculty Award in Discovery
in 2019 and 2021, the Purdue Focus Award in 2020, the Purdue PPI Interdisciplinary Research
Collaboration Award in 2021, and the Purdue Corps of Engagement Award in 2022.
I
was named a Purdue University Faculty Scholar in
2021, which is one of the highest research honors at Purdue
where the University Faculty Scholars Program recognizes
outstanding faculty who are on an accelerated path for
academic distinction. I also led the Purdue-Hongik Team that placed as a
finalist in the NASA Space Robotics Challenge Phase 2.
My research has been supported by various external funding
agencies including the NSF, NIFA, NIJ, and UNSA. I have
published over 30 peer-reviewed journal papers and over 60
peer-reviewed conference papers. I have served as an
associate editor of the IEEE International Conference on
Robotics and Automation (ICRA) and a co-organizer of the NSF
workshop to Explore US/Korean Collaboration in Human-Friendly
Co-Robotic Technologies. You can reach me at: Knoy Hall #245 401 N. Grant Street West Lafayette, IN 47907 Tel: +1 (765) 494-6490 Email: minb at purdue dot edu
