Profile
I hold a degree from Hongik University and am currently a researcher at Samsung Medical Center (PI : Meong Hi Son M.D Ph.D). My primary research focuses on AI-based experience design, with a specific emphasis on multi-agent interaction. Additionally, I specialize in human-robot interaction (HRI) for pediatric care. My current work involves designing products that facilitate meaningful interactions between humanoid robots and pediatric patients within the medical domain.
