Dongwook Choi

I am an M.S. student in Artificial Intelligence at Yonsei University, advised by Prof. Jinyoung Yeo. My research interests are AI agents, AI safety, and embodied agents.

Previously, I received a B.S. in Software Engineering from Chung-Ang University, graduating Magna Cum Laude. Before starting my M.S., I worked as an undergraduate research intern at the Language & AGI Lab at Yonsei University.

My recent work studies memory-augmented and safety-aware agent systems, including embodied agents, AR agents, web agents, and multi-agent collaboration under constraints.
