I am an HCI researcher and a Ph.D. student in Industrial Design at KAIST, advised by Prof. Youn-kyung Lim. My research interests focus on exploring the opportunities and challenges of designing human-AI interactions centered around self-reflection and personal data. I aim to design and study new technologies in everyday life, employing a reflective, human-centered approach.
