Hi! I am Youngseung, a Ph.D. student at UCLA HCI Research advised by Professor Xiang 'Anthony' Chen.
My research interests are at the intersection of HCI and AI. I design, build, and study interactive AI and AI systems that augment human abilities. My work spans application domains, including scientific discoveries, creativity, and information consumption.
I have worked as a research intern at TRI.
