I am a tenure-track Assistant Professor in the Department of Human-Centered Computing at Indiana University Indianapolis (IUI, formerly IUPUI). At IUI, I lead the Socio-Technical Exploration of Wellbeing (STEW) Lab.

I am a human-computer interaction (HCI) researcher exploring the sociotechnical implications of AI technologies in medical and healthcare contexts. I center the voices of people with lived experiences and community partners throughout all stages of the research process. More recently, my work has focused on how large language model (LLM)-based tools can be designed and evaluated to be safe for people with lived experiences. My research has been published in leading HCI and medcial informatics venues, including CHI, CSCW, DIS, PervasiveHealth, JMIR, and Internet Interventions.

Before joining IUI, I served as a tenure-track Assistant Professor at Kent State University. I earned a PhD in Human-Centered Computing and an MS in Human-Computer Interaction from Georgia Tech, as well as an MFA in Media Art from Yonsei University, and a Bachelor’s degree in Business from Seoul National University.
