I am a first-year Ph.D. student in IDEASLab at the National University of Singapore, advised by Prof. Adrian Chong and closely working with Prof. Clayton Miller in BUDS Lab.
My research explores the intersection of Humans, Space, and Technology. Specifically, I focus on Human-Building Interaction and AI applications to improve occupants' capabilities within existing environments.
Prior to joining NUS, I worked with Prof. Suk-Kyung Kim in the Environmental Behavior & Design Analysis lab (@ Yonsei University) and Prof. Jun Han in the Cyber-Physical Systems and Security lab (@ KAIST), gaining insights into how environments shape behavior and how sensing systems enhance user experiences.

Education
2022.03 - 2024.02
M.S. in Yonsei University
Interior Architecture & Built Environment
I broadened my research interests by collaborating with the Environmental Behavior & Design Analysis Lab and the Cyber-Physical Systems and Security Lab. My research focused on leveraging sensing technology to gather signals generated by building occupants, aiming to enhance user capabilities. [link] To support my research, I completed advanced courses in Artificial Intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), and Signal Processing.
2017.03 - 2022.02
B.S. in Yonsei University
Interior Architecture & Built Environment
+ Architecture & Architectural Engineering
I explored the impact of the built environment on human behavior and their well-being at the Environmental Behavior & Design Analysis Lab. As an Undergraduate Research Intern, I engaged in extensive research, leading to the publication of 1 journal article and 3 conference papers, utilizing qualitative and quantitative research methodologies.
