Now
I'm a second year Ph.D. student in EECS at MIT, focusing on Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) research.
I work with Prof. Rob Miller in the User Interface Design Group in
CSAIL (Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory).
I design social systems and novel interfaces to support learning creative skills. My research combines social and computational techniques to support retrieving, visualizing, and sharing the learning and creatve process.
I co-organize the weekly HCI Seminar Series at CSAIL. When over-exposed to computers, I sing tenor in the MIT Chamber Chorus.
Past
In summer 2011, I interned at Abobe's Creative Technologies Lab (part of ATL) in San Francisco.
I built a synchronous learning platform for Photoshop where users can help each other for graphical design tasks, connected via screen sharing and voice chat.
In summer 2010, I worked as a research intern in the USER Group at the IBM Almaden Research Center. I have a Computer Science Master's degree from Stanford University. For two years, I worked in the HCI Group with Prof. Scott Klemmer on Bricolage, a design tool that leverages existing examples.
Originally from Korea, I worked 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.
