Hello!
I’m Daye Kang — I study and design human-AI interaction for health, data, and everyday life.
My research interests lie at the intersection of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), human-AI interaction, and design. I have extensive experience in UX research — understanding user needs and designing systems that support data work by incorporating visualization and human-AI interaction. Currently, I am focusing on supporting holistic health management using multimodal AI in the context of personal informatics.
I started my academic career in Visual Communication Design at Hongik University, received my MS in Industrial Design (HCI) from KAIST advised by Dr. Andrea Bianchi, and am now a Ph.D. candidate at Cornell University’s Information Science Department, working with my advisor Dr. Malte Jung. My dissertation committee members are Dr. Jeff Rzeszotarski, Dr. David Mimno, Dr. Qian Yang, and Dr. Noémie Elhadad.
