I am an incoming PhD student in Communication at Purdue University, starting in Fall 2026, advised by Sue Lim. Previously, I conducted research at the Human-Computer Interaction + Design Lab at Seoul National University, advised by Joonhwan Lee and Hajin Lim.

My work sits at the intersection of HCI, Communication and Media, and Psychology. I study how AI, LLMs, VR, and other emerging technologies can support self-reflection, perspective-taking, and inclusive everyday communication through mixed-methods research, prototyping, experiments, surveys, interviews, and qualitative analysis.
