Semin Jin



I'm a Ph.D. student in Interior Architecture Design at Hanyang University, Seoul, Korea, affiliated with the Design Informatics Lab and Human-Centered AI Design Institute.
My research focuses on Human-AI Collaboration in Design.
I explore this at three levels:

Spatial

Behavior-aware generation and evaluation for human-usable 3D layouts    
Perceptual

Computational aesthetics in color, material, light, and style    
Experiential

Designer experience in human-AI collaboration
