Yoonji Kim is an Assistant Professor in the College of Art & Technology at Chung-Ang University.
Her research in human-computer interaction focuses on designing interactions and systems for novel user experiences using emerging technologies. Recently, she has been creating systems that assist users in prototyping interactive media (software/hardware) by employing various modalities, including XR and Conversational Interface.
She earned her Ph.D. (Industrial Design) and M.S. (Culture Technology) from KAIST and B.S. from Ewha Womans University (Computer Science).
She was a postdoctoral associate under the supervision of Prof. Stefanie Mueller at MIT CSAIL and worked as a software engineer/researcher for ten years in various companies (Samsung Electronics, Motorola, and LG Electronics).
