I am a Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) researcher in the
HCIS Lab.
Currently, I am a Ph.D. candidate in the College of Information and Computing at
Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (GIST), advised by
Prof. SeungJun Kim.
I received my M.S. in Intelligent Robotics at GIST.
Before joining GIST, I received my B.S. in Control and Automation Engineering at Korea Maritime and
Ocean University (KMOU).
My research focuses on the design and evaluation of in-vehicle user interfaces and interaction
techniques, with a particular emphasis on user experience (UX) in the context of automated driving.
I am also deeply interested in the application of extended reality (XR) technologies to enhance
situational awareness, immersion, and safety within automotive environments.
