About

I’m a first year PhD student in the Department of Computer Sciences at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Before I joined UW-Madison, I graduated from the EWHA Womans University with a B.S. and M.S. in Computer Science. There, I worked at the Human-Computer Interaction Lab, advised by Professor Uran Oh. I also worked with Professor David Lindlbauer and Yukang Yan when I visited at Carnegie Mellon University with the Korean National AI Talent Scholarhip.

In my research journey, I aim to develop an environment where humans can co-exist with AI-enabled robots. In other words, I want to make robots more desirable one to humans. To do so, I focus on (1) exploring what humans want from robots to be naturally accepted in complex human environments, (2) developing new AI-based interaction methods, working processes, algorithms, interfaces, etc., and (3) building robust large language models and vision-language models which aligns with human needs.
