Research Interests


I am an associate professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering of Seoul National University. I received my PhD from the computer science department of KAIST in 2013 and worked at Singapore Management University as an assistant professor until 2018. I am leading Human-Centered Computer Systems Lab. My group works at the intersection of mobile and pervasive computing, applied machine learning, and human-computer interaction. We are broadly interested in building experimental and innovative software systems, which involve multi-dimensional considerations across systems, applications, and users. Our current research interests are summarized below: 
  •  Edge AI Systems
    • On-device and edge deep learning systems
    • Optimizations for resource-constrained devices
    • Power efficiency and concurrency support
    • Privacy-preserving deep learning  
  • Human-Centered Sensing
    • Behavior sensing and analytics 
    • Emotion and health sensing 
    • Healthcare, wellness, and accessibility applications
    • Social science computing 
  • Mixed Reality Systems 
    • Augmented and virtual reality systems
    • Multi-modal interactions
    • Mixed reality applications and usability
    • 3D media streaming
