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    

New !
[Feb, 2026] Paper accepted to Automation in Construction.

[Feb, 2026] Paper accepted to CHI 2026.

[Jan, 2026] Paper published in Color Research & Application.

[Oct, 2025] Attended UIST 2025 in Yokohama.
