I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Design at Sungkyunkwan University (SKKU). As a Design / HCI researcher, I integrate technology and design to address emerging challenges in interactive systems. My research explores products and services leveraging Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies, with a vision to shape smarter future environments that enrich human experiences and interactions. My past and ongoing research and design initiatives center on speculating within this domain, developing a series of novel interactive systems and artifacts, and examining their human and societal impact. I share these insights through lectures and workshops, while also creating tutorials that empower the design community to leverage emerging technologies.
