I am a 5th year PhD student at HCI Lab in KAIST, working with professor Geehyuk Lee. My research focuses on understanding human eye behaviors and improving user interactions related to gaze and vision. Aside from this primary interest, I've also researched broader topics like haptics and text entry.
