My dissertation work "Collaborative Help for Individualized Problems: Learning from the MythTV User Community and Diabetes Patient Support Groups" (Advised by Mark Ackerman, graduation date: July 2011) examines how a community can collaboratively help individuals to solve their personalized problems through sharing and modifying socially aggregated knowledge in mobilizable forms such as configuration information and patient profiles. My primary research areas include human-computer interaction, computer supported collaborative work, and health informatics. More specifically, I am interested in leveraging community technology to allow social learning and knowledge exchange in technical and health domains. In the past I explored digital and technology obsolescence of constantly changing technical and personal environments and examined how socially aggregated experiences and knowledge as a result of community interaction can solve individuals’ problems. I looked at a range of topics, including a technical community’s collaborative efforts to maintain a discontinued machine over the long-term, the social dimensions of personal information management (PIM) practices in adults with Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, and collaborative help for adoption and use of PIM tools on the Web. I also work with Mark W. Newman on his NSF grant on collaborative configuration (Mark Ackerman is a co-PI) and have worked with Martha Pollack on her NSF grant on designing automated scheduling systems for a rehabilitation clinic at the U of M hospital.</p> <p>I received my bachelor's degree in Multimedia Design from <a href="http://www.knua.ac.kr" target="_blank">Korean National University of Arts</a> in 2003. After graduating college, I briefly worked at the Korean National Animation High School and designed and taught graduation project class on art, design, and creativity. I then left for the United States to get masters degree in Human Computer Interaction from <a href="http://www.hcii.cmu.edu" target="_blank">Human Computer Interaction Institute, Carnegie Mellon University</a>, and soon after graduation entered the Ph.D. program at the University of Michigan. In 2006, I wrote a monthly column on HCI and Design for a British graphic design magazine <i>Computer Arts Korea</i> in which I introduced a variety of research and design areas in HCI. Later during that year I interned at the <a href="http://www.research.ibm.com/SocialComputing/" target="_blank">Social Computing Group, IBM Watson Research</a> where I worked with Lauretta Jones, Wendy Kellogg, and Thomas Erickson. During the internship, I worked on studying the role of internal blog use at IBM. At CHI 2007, I organized a Special Interest Group in going beyond usability. I also had an opportunity to connect with colleagues in Science, Technology, and Society (STS) through attending Values in Design workshop funded by NSF and organized by Helen Nissenbaum and Geoffrey C. Bowker. At CHI 2009, I presented my thesis work at the doctoral consortium, and at CHI 2010 organized a workshop on supporting sustainability through technology reuse and presented a note on reuse practices of old PDAs. I received Grace Hopper scholarship award in 2009 and 2010.<br> <br> <font color="#ff3333">UPDATES (as of 10/03/2010)</font><br> <font color="#ff3333">===</font><br> I just presented my short paper on "incorporating user control in automated interactive scheduling systems" with Martha Pollack, Hadi Katebi and Karem Sakallah at the EECS department, and Ned Kirsch at the UM medical school at ACM DIS (Designing Interactive Systems) 2010 at Arhus, Denmark in August 18 ~ 20.<br> <br> My note on "Progressive Scenarios: A Rapid Method for Understanding User Interpretations of Technology" with Mark Ackerman, Mark Newman, and Ayse Buyuktur was accepted to Group 2010.

(well, who doesn't?) The only instrument I formally was trained in was piano. Other than that I have self-taught (meaning I am not that good at it) electrical and acoustic guitar and violin. The next thing in line is classical guitar. I brought a mini didgeridoo from Australia but I was never successful at it. Same with turntables, which is currently being used to play my dad's immense collections of vinyl discs from the 70's. These things normally last for a few months until I hit the plateau in the learning curve and the passion fades away for a few years and then it comes back. I also play around with audio samples from my daughter (born in Nov, 2008) for making music. <a href="design/teethingtoy/teethingtoy.html" target="_blank">Here</a> is one called, "the teething toy." <br> <br> Per art, from the training I received during the art middle and high school I attended, I have touched on at least the basics of dessin, portraits, water color, clay sculpture, typography, dong-yang hwa, you name it, except oil color because I was a graphic design major and it was too expensive and took too much time to dry for non-fine art students to learn the medium. It was replaced with acrylic instead. The skill-centric training during my school days at Sunwha art middle and high school was quite drudging, so I get more excited about art pieces like surrealist paintings than others, for instance, naturalism or gothicism, although they are still quite beautiful to see. <br> <br> Looking back it seems like I was really into extreme sports. I did sky diving from <a href="sky.jpg">21,000 feet</a> (normally it's 18,000 feet but you can pay more to get to 21,000, which will earn you more time for free fall), <a href="bungy.jpg">bungy jumping</a> (which in my opinion is far more scarier than sky diving), wake boarding, snowboarding and <a href="ski.jpg">skiing</a>, both of which I still enjoy to do. I miss those days when I could just buy a season ticket, rent a room and stay at a ski resort for the whole winter.<br> </p> <p><i></i></p> <p><i></i></p> <p><i></i></p> <p><i></i></p> <p><i></i></p> <p><i></i></p> <p><i></i></p> <p><i></i></p> </body>
