I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Educational Technology at Seoul National University, South Korea. My research interests include learning sciences, learning analytics, learning design, HCI (Human-AI Interaction/ Collaboration), and ICT for education and development. Recently, I am conducting research that involves analyzing the interaction between humans and AI and designing an emerging virtual reality-based learning environment to improve teachers' empathy. I seek to understand how these technologies can enhance meaningful learning and teaching situations.
