Biography

Hello, I am a master's student in Human-Centered Interactive Technologies Laboratory at the Graduate School of Culture Technology, KAIST under the supervision of Prof. Sang Ho Yoon.

My research interests lie in gaze-based behavior and gaze-hand multimodal interaction. I am particularly fascinated by how eye movements can be used to anticipate user intentions and enhance interactive systems.
