Donghoon Shin 

I am a Ph.D. student in Human Centered Design & Engineering at the University of Washington, advised by Profs. Gary Hsieh and Lucy Lu Wang. I am also a student researcher at
Google Research, working on advancing the use of Gemini
My research lies at the intersection of HCI and AI, where I develop systems that lower barriers to accessing and consuming complex documents (e.g., scholarly papers) to support real-world practices (e.g., design). To achieve this, I draw on techniques from document understanding, UI understanding, and conversational agents
I received my B.S. in Electrical & Computer Engineering and Information Science at Seoul National University, where I was supported by the Presidential Science Scholarship. Previously, I was a research intern at Adobe Research and Naver AI, and a software engineer Elecle
