I am a fresh Ph.D. in Computer Science from KAIST, with also a CS undergrad background. My specialty is in applied machine learning for sensing devices & user experience (UX) design and analysis. My doctoral research spanned multiple domains, including XR, eye tracking, gaze analysis, wearable haptics, and user experience evaluation.
