Hello!

I'm a third-year Ph.D. student in Human Centered Design & Engineering (HCI) at the University of Washington, advised by Prof. David McDonald and Prof. Mark Zachry. I previously earned my M.S. in Engineering (HCI) at Seoul National University, and a B.A. in Communication & Media from Ewha Womans University.

My PhD research focuses on how AI can support community-sensitive mediation of conflicts that arise in the collaborative work of online communities. I am also exploring different dimensions of human interaction with AI companions.

Focus Areas: Computer-Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW), Computer-Mediated Communication (CMC), Human-AI Interaction, Human-Agent Interaction
