About me
I'm starting my Ph.D. in CSAIL at MIT this fall. Starting in May, I joined the USER Group at IBM Research Almaden for summer internship.
I recently finished my Master's in Computer Science at Stanford University.
For two years, I worked in the HCI Group with Prof. Scott Klemmer on Bricolage, a design tool that leverages existing examples.
My broad research interests lie in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and creativity support tools, with the goal of supporting human creativity by realizing the full potential of the web. I am interested in designing web/ubiquitous applications that align with people's everyday creative activities, such as design, programming, learning, writing, conducting research, etc.
Before coming to the U.S., I used to work as an embedded software engineer at SystemBase in Seoul, Korea for three years. I have a B.S. degree in Computer Science and Engineering from Seoul National University.
