I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Design Lab and Creativity Lab at the University of California, San Diego. I earned my Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Waterloo where I was advised by Edith Law and was a member of the Human-Computer Interaction Lab.
With programming, data, and AI permeating every aspect of our lives and the tools we use, literacy in these fields is becoming a critical part of our training and education in the 21st century. My research aims to support this need by augmenting our intelligence in areas such as learning, creativity, and sensemaking. I am particularly interested in creating new techniques, tools, and systems that leverage dynamic, layered representations and computational methods/AI.
During my Ph.D., I investigated this in the context of teaching programming, exploring how we can learn and make sense of abstract concepts, languages, and procedures in programming with comics. Specifically, I introduced a new concept called coding strip, a form of comic strip with corresponding code, and developed tools for designing, creating, and using coding strips—design methods, creativity support tools, and visual programming environment.
Research Interests:
Human-Computer/AI Interaction, Computing Education, Creativity Support, Concept-driven/Collaborative Storytelling, Creative Coding, Learning Analytics
Previously:
I received B.S. in Computer Science from Korea University where I worked with Jaegul Choo to develop data mining algorithm and visual analytics for convolutional neural network.
