Hojeong Lee

I am a researcher, designer, and engineer.

My research focuses on wearable haptic gloves and soft actuators for enhancing the use of human hands.
I graduated from Seoul National University with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Industrial Design, and currently am a Ph.D candidate at HCI Tech Lab, Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST).
My works have been published in IEEE WHC, IMWUT, IEEE ISMAR, demo at CHI, and exhibited at DDP Seoul.
