I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Industrial Design at Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST). I design and develop new interaction techniques and interactive systems for professional designers and design students. My work lies in the intersection of traditional design practices and the state-of-the art technologies. Starting from thorough understanding of existing design workflows and skills, my research actively utilize interaction design, input/output devices, and computer graphics, to pioneer new paradigms for both the real design process and design education.
