I'm a Human-computer interaction researcher and user experience designer.

I aim to present novel experiences from an interface with dynamically controllable material properties with its values.

My research involves developing novel concepts and interfaces and exploring/understanding their values in user experience by applying emerging technologies (mainly, SW/HW prototyping, 3D printing, metamaterial, and composite materials) and designerly approaches (UX methodology, qualitative analysis, and design thinking)

I earned my Ph.D. and M.S. in Industrial Design from KAIST, and my B.S. in Materials Science and Engineering from POSTECH.
