About Dong Hun Lee

Driven by a passion for innovation in autonomous vehicle technology, I bring a deep technical background and a research-focused mindset to advancing mobility solutions. With a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering Technology, my expertise spans object detection, autonomous systems, semiconductor design, and thin-film fabrication(PVD)—critical components in the evolution of self-driving technology.My master\'s research concentrated on Lidar sensors and sensor fusion, essential for enhancing perception and navigation in autonomous vehicles. Combined with my undergraduate foundation in robotics, control systems, and leadership, I have developed a multidisciplinary approach to solving complex engineering challenges.From refining sensor accuracy to optimizing AI-driven vehicle intelligence, I am eager to contribute to the next generation of autonomous transportation. Whether through research, development, or collaboration, my goal is to help shape a future where vehicles are safer, smarter, and more autonomous.
