I'm a 4th-year Ph.D. candidate in Computer Science at the
University of Toronto,
working with
Prof. Khai Truong in the DGP lab.
My research lies at the intersection of human–AI interaction, accessibility, and creativity support,
with a special focus on improving music accessibility for d/Deaf and hard-of-hearing (DHH) individuals.
My projects include
song signing
(CHI ’23) to explore how music is experienced and expressed within Deaf culture, and
ELMI
(CHI ’25), an LLM-supported English lyrics to ASL gloss translation system.
I completed my B.Sc. in Computer Science and Engineering at
Ewha Womans University,
where I was advised by
Prof. Uran Oh
(Human-Computer Interaction Lab) and
Prof. Hyokyung Bahn
(Distributed Computing and Operating Systems Lab).
Additionally, I worked as a research intern at Samsung AI Center Toronto, where I was mentored by
Iqbal Mohomed, and at
NAVER AI LAB under the supervision of Young-Ho Kim.
Most recently, I interned at Adobe Research in the STORIE Lab, supervised by Anh Truong and Justin Salamon .
💼 I am currently exploring academic (Assistant Professor) and industry (Research Scientist) positions starting in Summer/Fall 2026.
