Senior XR Researcher (PhD) | Global Shaper
“My vision is to bridge people beyond space and time through immersive technology. I hold a Ph.D. in Culture Technology (AR/VR) from the KAIST UVR Lab and a Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from KAIST. With deep expertise in AR, VR, spatial computing, and human-computer interaction, my research focuses on AR/VR telepresence, mutual space generation, spatial memory, and locomotion, shaping the future of immersive connectivity.”
