Kyungmi Na (羅憼美)
PhD in Machine Learning
My work is related to the intersection of artificial intelligence and physical intelligence. Currently, I'm focused on bringing physical intelligence to life through metamaterials, specifically by developing new design methodologies that leverage differentiable simulation. I am trying to find ways to make materials “smarter” through computational design.
