    INTRODUCTION


    WHO AM I

    I¡¯m a second year Ph.D student at Culture Technology of KAIST advised by prof. Kwang-yun Wohn. My main research focuses on enhancing tactile feedbacks on mobile devices using human illusions. I'm also interested in designing novel interaction techniques and input technologies that encompass both academic and industrial value. Basically, my works are based on my curiosity of everyday things. Hence, most of them are from a variety of fields, including computer science, psychology, art, and design.
