My research focuses on Mid-air Haptics, Vibrotactile Perception, and Tacitle Languages.

I am a Ph.D. Candidate at POSTECH Interaction Lab. I explore how to effectively transmit information through the sense of touch. Currently, I am conducting research on a Tactile Korean System to enable alternative communication for people with sensory impairments.
