Summary
👤
SeniorYoonji Kim is an Assistant Professor and HCI researcher with a strong engineering pedigree, blending over a decade of industry C++ development with academic expertise in UX, adaptive interfaces, physical computing, and AR/VR. She has led end-to-end product development and built core middleware and device drivers at major firms (LG, Motorola, Samsung), including VR frameworks, motion-gesture UIs, and smartwatch platform layers. Her work bridges systems-level performance tuning (Nyx layer, Luna Surface Manager, Qt fixes) with hands-on prototyping for mobile and embedded UX, reflecting a rare full-stack applied-research skill set. After a postdoctoral stint at MIT she transitioned to academia, continuing to iterate between research and production-grade systems. Notably, she combines deep experience in C/C++ systems with modern fabrication and 3D/AR interfaces, enabling tangible interactions that scale from device drivers to user-facing AR demos. Based in South Korea, she brings practical product delivery experience to academic HCI research and teaching.
