Ubiquitous computing.
the method of enhancing computer use by making many computers available throughout the physical environment, but making them effectively invisible to the use...
- Mark Weiser

I am Sunyoung Kim, a PhD student in Human-Computer Interaction (HCII) at Carnegie Mellon University advised by Eric Paulos. I got my MS degree in Human-Computer Interaction at Georgia Institute of Technology.

My research interest falls under the umbrella of ubiquitous computing, mobile technology, assistive technology and pervasive computing. Particularly, I am interested in the creation and use of technologies that contribute to better human well-being and environment in a sustainability view point. I was advised by Dr. Gregory Abowd, and a member of Aware Home Research Initiative and the Ubiquitous Computing Research Group at Georgia Tech.

Before coming to Georgia Tech, I have been working as a user interaction designer and strategic planner in the field of Internet Media, user interface for mobile device and Ubiquitous Appliance for Apartment Complex.

I used to be crazy for snowboarding. I'd been snowboarding for 7 years until before coming to Hotlanta. Shawn White is just an amazing snowboader. He kicks up to the highest in the Pipe, and one of the best trickers. Watching Jeremy Jones's big mountain riding always makes me thrilling. And I love traveling. I've been travelling all around Australia, South New Zealand, Osaka, Tokyo in Japan, Ancor Watt in Cambodia, Bangkok, Pucket, Pipi in Thailand, Saipan and Indonesia Bali. The land of Inca, Chile is the place I'm to die for going someday.
