About Me

I am an assistant professor in the Computer Science department at Kunsan National University, South Korea. My research focuses on Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and AR/VR, specifically developing frameworks and interactive techniques to make spatial computing more accessible for daily activities.

Previously, I earned my Ph.D. at the University of Minnesota under Professor Daniel F. Keefe and completed a postdoc at the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) under Paul Navrátil.

Please check my CV here.

Note: I am actively recruiting new MS and PhD students. If you are interested in working with me, please send your CV, transcript, and a brief cover letter via email.

국립군산대학교 컴퓨터정보공학과 조교수로 재직 중입니다. 연구 분야는 인간-컴퓨터 상호작용(HCI) 및 AR/VR이며, 공간 컴퓨팅 기술을 일상생활에서 보다 쉽고 유용하게 활용할 수 있도록 돕는 기술들을 개발하고 있습니다.

미국 미네소타 대학교(University of Minnesota)에서 Daniel F. Keefe 교수님의 지도하에 박사 학위를 취득하였으며, 텍사스 컴퓨팅 센터(TACC)에서 Paul Navrátil 박사님의 지도하에 박사후 연구원을 지냈습니다.
