SJ (Si Jung) Kim, Ph.D. is an Associate Professor in the Department of Entertainment Engineering and Design at the Howard R. Hughes College of Engineering, University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) , and serves as the founding director of the Digital Experience Lab (DEX Lab) . With more than 20 years of interdisciplinary experience spanning human-computer interaction, mechatronics, and intelligent systems, he leads cutting-edge research that bridges cyber-physical systems and interactive media to enhance user experiences. Education: Ph.D. in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) M.S. in Robotics B.S. in Electronic/Mechatronics Engineering Research Interests: Dr. Kim’s work centers on intelligent interactive interfaces and technologies grounded in human-factors theory and HCI principles. Core areas include: Design and evaluation of immersive AR/VR systems Machine-learning-driven human augmentation Cyber-physical systems that seamlessly merge physical and digital worlds User-centered design of next-generation entertainment and educational technologies His research agenda emphasizes interdisciplinary collaboration to push technological boundaries while ensuring meaningful human benefit. Publication Landscape: Across 50+ peer-reviewed works from 1998 to 2024, Dr. Kim’s scholarship reveals three dominant trajectories: (1) convergence of mixed reality and IoT/digital-twin ecosystems, (2) empirical studies on user presence, cognition, and performance in virtual environments, and (3) development of novel hardware–software platforms for education, healthcare, and entertainment. These contributions collectively advance the theoretical and practical frameworks for intelligent interactive systems. Professional Appointments & Collaborations: Associate Professor, UNLV (current) Director, Digital Experience Lab (DEX Lab) Former roles: Samsung Electronics, Korea Institute of Science & Technology (KIST), Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI), and HP Labs, Palo Alto (intern) Labs & Teams: The DEX Lab under Dr. Kim’s direction is dedicated to exploring and advancing intelligent interactive media and systems. The lab fosters an environment of collaboration among graduate researchers and industry partners, focusing on projects that integrate AR/VR, AI, and IoT to create transformative user experiences.
