About Me
Embedded Files
I am a Ph.D. student in WIT Lab at the School of Electrical Engineering, KAIST, working with Ian Oakley.
My research focuses on designing interactive systems and entertainment computing grounded in user-centered design methodologies. I am particularly interested in developing experiences that are not only engaging and accessible for users but also impactful for researchers and practitioners. I received my master's degree from KAIST (advised by Sang Ho Yoon) and my bachelor's degree from DGIST.
I was a recipient of a master's research grant from the NRF of Korea (2024-2025) and received an Honorable Mention at CHI (2025).
