I am a researcher, designer, and an engineer.
My research focuses on wearable haptic devices, soft actuators, and XR ergonomics, further aiming to integrate with wearable sensors for creating seamless wearable device that enhance human cognition and motor functions.
I am intersted in designing interactive hardwares and structures and trying to test and integrate various materials and tools.
As an artist and designer, my personal interest lies in artificially animated machines, environments, and computers as continuum of lives, and I seek emotional bonds between them and humans.
I graduated from Seoul National University with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Industrial Design, and currently am a researcher at Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology.
My works has been published in IMWUT, IEEE ISMAR, demo at CHI, and exhibited at DDP Seoul.
