Home Research Projects

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).

My research interest is in better understanding and supporting creative processes with novel interfaces and technologies. I design tools that enhance the interaction between content creators (writers, designers, programmers) and consumers. Methods and techniques involved in my research often include interaction design, crowdsourcing, machine learning, and web technologies.

I co-organize the weekly HCI Seminar Series at CSAIL. If you have cool HCI-related work to share with us, let me know. When over-exposed to computers, I sing tenor in the MIT Chamber Chorus. 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.
