Research Field: INTERACTION DESIGN, Tangible Interaction Design, Interaction Design for Information Architecture, Interaction Design for Intelligent Environments
    As a professor of KNUA(The Korean National University of Arts), the last 10 years have been spent mostly on achieving the goal to set up the new department as a starting faculty member and head of dept. and competitive interaction design studio which is a pioneer in the field of interaction design in Asia. I am currently working toward my two immediate goals, which are, first to cultivate interaction design education in a society where unfortunately it is also one of the weakest fields because a well-structured process and methodology was not exposed to professional designers in Asia even though interaction design field is one of the most emerging fields in the world today. And second, to develop close contacts with fast advancing and potentially successful Asian countries like China for the global culture experience design.
    When I graduated from RCA(Royal college of art) in London, I was offered many jobs but decided to join KNUA(The Korean National University of Arts). This reflects my determination to be at the heart of design education where I could develop valuable work experience while researching and teaching with other designers and having first hand contacts with famous artist and culture researchers at college. It led me to art and culture based experience design world and help me construct my future plan in interaction design for information design and technology.
    Currently, I have been interested in ethnographic mobile interaction design development. I have done some collaboration studies on Asian UI project in order to provide optimal user experience for Asian mobile phone users with NOKIA_China in 2005-2006.
