Hi, I'm Hye-Young Jo, an HCI researcher. I finished my Master's at Make lab, KAIST, where I had a great time working closely with Prof. Andrea Bianchi. Now, I work as an research assistant at Artifab lab, Chung-Ang University with Prof. Yoonji Kim to enrich my academic journey.

I'm interested in designing embodied interactions and wearable systems that assist individuals in leading healthy and creative lives. So, I investigate how to redesign mundane physical and creative activities to be immersive and enjoyable using XR, AI, and haptic technologies.

Before joining the research community, I worked as a film VFX compositor and AR/VR generalist at Dexter Studios for several years after college. Prior to that, I studied fine art (painting & media arts) at Seoul National University.
