Hello πŸ‘‹οΈ,
I’m a first year Ph.D. student in the School of Computing at KAIST. I work with Juho Kim as a member of KIXLAB!

My research areas are Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Human-AI interaction (HAI). I’m very interested in research on an interactive system supporting creative work like the design.

Underground Flow


Project background

Janghanpyeong is the largest automobile industrial estate in Korea. However, because of the old buildings and outdated facilities and equipment, the number of people visiting this place has decreased significantly. In addition, there are not enough spaces for users and mechanic.

To solve this problem, we conducted a space regeneration design project, Underground Flow.

Belleville Armchair miniature

The elegant and stylish Belleville Armchair Plastic Outdoor is designed by Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec for the manufacturer Vitra. In this project, I remake the chair through acrylic material and self-made mold. By detailed modeling of mold, the miniature model represents an elaborately detailed curve in the chair.
