معرفی
Joongi Shin is a Postdoctoral Researcher at Aalto University, affiliated with the Computational Behavior Lab and User Interfaces Research Group. He earned his Ph.D. in Industrial Design from KAIST in 2021. His research focuses on integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into creative and design activities to enhance human creativity while addressing challenges like idea convergence and reduced creative agency.
Shin's research interests span Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), collaborative creativity, and generative AI, with secondary focus areas including unobtrusive interaction, robotic furniture, and VR/AR. His work explores how AI can support design workflows without overshadowing human expertise, emphasizing empathy and task delegation between humans and AI.
His publications highlight trends in AI-augmented design, including the efficacy of chatbots in consensus-building, LLM limitations in problem reframing, and AI's role in persona generation. Notably, he advocates for hybrid human-AI workflows where human strengths in grouping data and AI strengths in summarization produce representative personas.
Scientific Awards:
- Postdoctoral research fellowship from the National Research Foundation of Korea (NRF), 2022
Shin has received recognition through invited talks (e.g., AI and I Hackathon 2024, Southern University of Science and Technology 2023) and collaborations with prominent researchers like Prof. Antti Oulasvirta and Prof. Andrés Lucero. He actively contributes to academic discourse through workshops like the CHI '23 event on AI in human-human collaborative ideation.
