I am an HCI researcher and Master's student in the Department of Industrial Design at KAIST , where I am working with Prof. Hwajung Hong at the DxD Lab .

I want to contribute to creating a more inclusive society where marginalized people can express themselves, communicate freely with others, and learn through technology.

My research interests lie at the intersection of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Human-AI Interaction (HAI), and AI-mediated communication. Specifically, I want to explore the potential of LLMs to improve learning for people with disabilities, by facilitating communication between people with disabilities and those without.

Prior to my graduate studies, I received a B.S. in Electrical & Computer Engineering and a B.A. in Information Science from Seoul National University .
