I am a Post-doc fellow in the Visual Cognitive Neuroscience Lab at Korea University (PI: Chai-Youn Kim).  

We all live in the same world, but at the same time everybody lives in an entirely different world. People perceive and feel the same stimulus through another lens. The way they respond to stimuli aesthetically and perceptually in a different way across individuals piques my interest.  

Integrating psychology and art/aesthetics, I uncover psychological and neural mechanisms involved in aesthetic experience of visual art. My main questions are "How and why does certain sensory stimulus results in certain hedonic value? How does it vary depending on the attributes of individuals?" 

Also, I am interested in visual perception, especially color. I study "how the same sensory stimulus is differently perceived depending on characteristics of the individual." I attempt to answer these questions using psychophysics, eye-tracking measure, and 3D modeling. 

Outside the lab, I like design, pilates, reading books, and cooking :)
