Donghoon Shin

I am an HCI researcher and a Ph.D. student in Human Centered Design & Engineering at the University of Washington, where I am co-advised by Profs. Gary Hsieh and Lucy Lu Wang

My research lies at the intersection of HCI and NLP. One area of interest is translational science, where I design and develop AI systems to make academic papers more accessible to real-world practitioners (e.g., designers, healthcare practitioners). Another line of research focuses on building agentic AI systems that help provide users with diverse perspectives to accomplish their goal-oriented tasks

Previously, I received my B.S. in ECE and Information Science at Seoul National University, where I was honored to be selected as the Presidential Science Scholar. I also worked as a research intern at Adobe Research and Naver AI, and an iOS developer at Elecle

I am the 2022 Korean Government Scholar for Overseas Study
