Hyungsin Kim

Visiting Assistant Professor, Computer Science

My research endeavors contribute to the dynamic fields of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Software Engineering, and Digital Healthcare. Grounded in a transdisciplinary approach, my work is enriched by methodologies, theoretical frameworks, and empirical insights drawn from sociology, psychology, educational technology, and computer science. At the core of my inquiry is the design and empirical evaluation of technological tools that enhance cognitive processes, facilitate learning, and prompt informed action. My ultimate ambition is to engineer interactions that are not only purposeful but also engaging—creating a playful yet meaningful co-evolution of humans and technology.
