About  me

I'm a Ph.D. student in the Design Informatics Lab (Hanyang University), specializing in Human-Computer Interaction and Human-AI Interaction.   My research focuses on developing AI-driven design support systems to enhance designers' work. I develop assessment tools that provide feedback to designers, supporting decision-making with crowd preference-based aesthetic evaluations and functional assessments.  I aim to create designer-centric generative AI that addresses practical challenges in design, bridging the gap between cutting-edge AI and real-world needs.

Design Projects


I earned my undergraduate degree in Art & Design and have participated in various design projects, which has deeply influenced my interest in spatial design and project planning.  
My work is driven by a commitment to integrate Generative AI and design quantification methods into the design process from a designer's perspective.
This approach stems from my extensive experience in both theoretical and practical aspects of design, enabling me to explore innovative methods of incorporating data-driven and AI-enhanced models into creative practices.
