About

I'm an HCI researcher and digital media designer born and living in Seoul, Korea. I had been walking a single path of art and design, working as a web/app visual designer and 3D modeling artist. For now, however, I returned to school and studying HCI on the border of art and computer science.

Hi! I'm a Ph.D candidate in Computer Science at Seoul National University, advised by Jinwook Seo, as a member of HCI lab (2012 - ).

With a background of Human-Computer Interaction and Visual Communication Design, I'm very interested in designing interactive, visual, and mobile self-tracking systems to meet people's diverse tracking needs by providing the user interfaces to design, collect, and visualize the personal information.

For more information about my Ph.D research, refer to this presentation video from Naver (Sorry, it's in Korean!):

Before my Ph.D course, I received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Visual Communication Design from Seoul National University (2007-2010).
