Donghoon Shin 
I am an HCI researcher and a fourth-year Ph.D. student in Human Centered Design & Engineering at the 
University of Washington, advised by Profs. Gary Hsieh and Lucy Lu Wang
My research lies at the intersection of HCI and AI, where I develop systems that streamline the dissemination, access, and consumption of 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 B.A. in Information Science at Seoul National University, where I was supported by the Presidential Science Scholarship. Previously, I was a research intern at 
Microsoft Research, 
Google Research, 
Adobe Research, and 
Naver AI, and a software engineer at 
Elecle
