I am a researcher, designer, and an engineer.
My research focuses on wearable haptic glove and soft actuators for enhancing the use of human hand.
As an artist and designer, I seek emotional bonds between artificially animated machines, environments, computers as continuum of lives and humans.
I graduated from Seoul National University with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Industrial Design, and currently am a researcher at Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology..
My works have been published in IEEE WHC, IMWUT, IEEE ISMAR, demo at CHI, and exhibited at DDP Seoul..
