I am a Lead Research Scientist at
, leading the Human-Computer Interaction Research Group. As a Human-Computer Interaction researcher, I do research at the intersection of Ubiquitous Computing, Personal Health Informatics, and Personal Data Visualization. Combining my multidisciplinary knowledge in Computer Science and Visual Communication Design, I design and develop computing systems for self-tracking that empower people in the loop of human-data interaction.I am a recipient of Korea International Postdoc Fellowship supported by National Research Foundation of Korea in 2019, and a Best of CHI Honorable Mention award at ACM CHI 2021.

Research Topics
Flexible Human-Data Interaction in Personal Informatics
Personal informatics systems require signficant human efforts in both collecting and exploring the data,
becuase the self-tracking process involves the user's personal context information, which is not recorded in the data.
I explore ways to support such human-data interaction processes in flexible and less-structured manners,
to lower the barriers of lay individuals to novel self-tracking tools.
Personal Informatics ⨯ AI & NLP
Recent advance in Machine Learning and Natural Language Processing technologies opens exciting opportunities in the field of Personal Informatics.
For example, conversational agents equipped with large language models are used to capture various human behavioral information from natural language dialogs.
I am interested in building AI-powered Personal Informatics systems and understanding how should we deal with AI technologies to effectively and ethically handle self-tracking data.
