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 Postdoc Researcher at University of Maryland, College Park, advised by Eun Kyoung Choe, as a member of UMD HCIL (2019-).

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

I received a Ph.D. degree in Computer Science and Engineering (2012-2019, advised by Jinwook Seo), and Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Visual Communication Design (2007-2011) from Seoul National University.
