Soobin Cho

Hello! I'm a first year PhD student in the Department of Human Centered Design and Engineering at the University of Washington, where I am advised by Prof. David McDonald and Prof. Mark Zachry.

I am interested in Human Computer Interaction (HCI), Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW), Computer-Mediated Communication (CMC), and Social Computing. I am fascinated by the dynamics of user interactions through various computational mediums. My research has spanned conversational agents, online communities, and video conferencing tools.
