Living Abroad: 2 years in Michigan

Greetings

I'm a 4th-year Ph.D. candidate in Computer Science at the University of Toronto, working under the supervision of Prof. Khai Truong.

My research centers human-AI interaction, with an emphasis on accessibility and creativity support, particularly in enhancing "music accessibility" for d/Deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals. One of my main projects involves song signing to support culturally responsive content creation and encourage collaboration between d/Deaf and non-d/Deaf artists. Another aspect of my work focuses on enhancing people's well-being. I am engaged in projects that support individuals with dementia in their out-of-home experiences and encourage mindful eating behaviours among children.

I completed my B.Sci 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 System Lab). Additionally, I worked as a research intern at the Samsung AI Centre Toronto under the guidance of Dr. Iqbal Mohomed, and at NAVER AI (HCI group) with Dr. Young-Ho Kim.
