Greetings

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.

TAYO BUS PROJECT(Spring, 2018)

Software-based Convergence System Design
Spring 2018
Prof. Uran Oh


Team: Suhyeon Yoo, Sojung Jang, Yujin Kim, and Yujin Park


Inconvenience while using the bus: unable to get on and off the bus in time due to communication problems with the driver, difficulty pressing the stop bell, the hassle of tagging bus cards, transfer discounts are not possible due to untagging, and penalty charges.

To solve these problems, we propose a Tayo project.



Tayo Project makes it possible to recognize getting on and off just bypassing between readers using RFID. You do not need to tag the card, so you can save time onboarding, and prevent penalties due to non-tagging.

It is recommended to use an RFID sticker attached to the mobile phone, which will reduce the risk of passengers losing their bus card. 

While boarding the bus, it informs you of your current location and the remaining distance and turns on the notification when the arrival stop is near.

It helps passengers reach their desired destination easier.
