<aside> 💡 I am a proactive and highly motivated undergraduate HCI researcher, studying and doing research at KAIST, School of Computing. I’m currently working with Prof.Hwajung Hong & Prof. Janghee Cho, and had been advised by Prof.Juho Kim. My research interest particularly lies at the intersection of HCI, Wellbeing and Mental Health, Community/Social Dynamics, and Human-(AI, Data) Interaction. I am also a life logging GEEK! I'm excited to be participating in an exchange program at Georgia Tech CS 🇺🇸 this upcoming fall.
