Hankyung Kim

UX Researcher + Designer

​

Hi✨ I am currently working as a senior design researcher at Corporate Design Center, Samsung Electronics. I hold a PhD, MSc and BSc in Industrial Design from KAIST. I was supervised by Prof. Youn-kyung Lim in Creative Interaction Design Lab.

​​

My research lies in the intersections between Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Design, and AI. I explore what it means to be human and how we maintain our humanity in an increasingly AI-driven world. Envisioning futures where AI augments rather than diminishes human agency, I adopt various designerly approaches that emphasize human values, creativity, and critical reflection. I am interested in developing new design theories and methods that enable more human-centered approaches to the design of newly emerging technologies.​​
