I am a Ph.D. student at HIS Lab, CSE, POSTECH, advised by Prof. Inseok Hwang. My research interests lie in HCI and ubiquitous computing, especially in personalization. I am also engaged in interdisciplinary research in areas such as health and child education.
My research focuses on principled generative personalization — personalizing common norms for individuals based on their unique characteristics and personalities by generating distinct embodiments. Currently, I am actively utilizing generative AI to understand individual diversity, create tailored embodiments for each person, and naturally integrate these into daily life. I hope that my research contributes to respecting individual uniqueness and diversity.
