Researcher at ETRI
(Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute)
I am a Human–Computer Interaction (HCI) researcher in Team EnSeption (Enhancing Sensory and Perception Technology) at ETRI.
My work focuses on designing ways to bridge the digital and physical worlds to enhance human perception.
Grounded in UX-analytic methods, I design and develop HCI techniques for diverse user groups.
