I am an assistant professor at the University of Michigan in the Stamps School of Art and Design and the School of Information. As a design researcher and interaction designer, I’m interested in complex systems, services, and environments that shape people’s needs, behaviors, and cultures/practices. My research interests lie at the intersection of Human Computer Interaction (HCI), Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) and Health Informatics, and I’m particularly interested in examining the social, technical, contextual and cultural dimensions of social computing systems. My work focuses on designing and evaluating interactive information technology use in highly reliable, dynamic environments, such as healthcare settings. My dissertation is titled "Learning from Users' Adaptation Experience: Outlining the Design Space for Health IT Systems." Prior to my position at UM, I completed my PhD in the Department of Informatics at the University of California, Irvine. During my graduate studies, I was a member of the Laboratory for Ubiquitous Computing and Interaction (LUCI) at UCI Irvine, and completed a very enriching internship in UX team at Bloomberg L.P. in New York City. I previously earned a M.Des. in Interaction Design at Carnegie Mellon University, and a B.S. in Industrial Design (major) and Multi-media Design (minor) at Ewha Women’s University, Seoul, Korea. I am currently working on the following research topics:
Teaching: I teach graduate and undergraduate Human-Computer Interaction courses at Stamps, including Interaction Design and Research Methods. Prospective students: I am always looking to work with self-motivated, enthusiastic, and creative students who are interested in HCI, CSCW, and Design research! I generally expect students to commit to at least two semesters of research if they want to join my research projects. If you are already a student at UM and are interested in working with me, please check out “here” to learn more. *I am looking to have one PhD student next year (2018-2019), so please check out the the SI admission site or contact me for more information.* |

Excited to organize our workshop at the ECSCW 2019, sponsored by ACM-FCA! April 2019 Very excited to organize a workshop that aims to explore the concept of care networks in CSCW and to devise a plan for future research on healthcare technologies and systems. This is also sponsored by the ACM Future of Computing Academy I'm part of. For more info: http://bit.ly/CareNetworksWS AHRQ grant was awarded! November 2018 I'm thrilled to announce that our AHRQ grant (Agency for Health Care Research and Quality) with physicians in Emergency Department at Michigan hospital and Mayo Clinic has been awarded!! The project aims to reduce diagnostic errors and improve patient safety in emergency and acute care. I am co-chairing the Doctoral Colloquium at iConference 2019! September 2018 I’m very excited to be co-charing the iConference 2019 Doctoral Colloquium, which will be held in Washington DC in March 2019. I feel honored to contribute to the community since I had such a great experience by participating as a phd student in the past! Paper accepted to CSCW 2018! September 2018 Our collaborative work, "Exploring Real-Time Collaboration in Crowd-Powered Systems through a UI Design Tool", with Sang Won Lee and Walter Lasecki has accepted to CSCW 2018! I have received my second ESSI award!! May 2018 I am happy to announce that my project on "A Projection-based Augmented Reality (AR) System for Inclusive recreational Supports and Performance Tracking for People with Neuromotor Impairments" has been funded by the Exercise and Sport Science Initiative (ESSI) at UM. Program Committee Service 2018-2019 I will be serving as an Associate Chair on the Program Committees of the ACM CHI 2019, ACM CHI 2018, ACM GROUP 2018, and as a Co-Chair for Doctoral Colloquium at iConference 2019. I was accepted to join the ACM Future of Computing Academy! April 2017 I am thrilled to be selected as one of 46 members of the inaugural class of the ACM-FCA. I have received the NSF CRII award! February 2017 I am honored to receive an NSF early-career grant for my research project, “Pediatric Patient-Clinician Communication: Empowering Pediatric Patients as Active Communicators.” Travel // June 17: ACM-FCA annual meeting, Boston June 8-12: ECSCW 2019, Salzburg, Austria April 15: ACM Leadership Meeting, New York March 30-April 3: iConference 2019, Washington DC March:: NSF meeting, Washington DC |
