Yewon Kim
I am a graduate student researcher at KAIST, advised by Sung-Ju Lee, and a visiting student researcher at Carnegie Mellon University, working with Chris Donahue. I also work closely with Mina Lee at University of Chicago. I received my B.S. and M.S. degrees in Electrical Engineering at KAIST.
My research interests lie in human-computer interaction (HCI) and artificial intelligence (AI). I am passionate about leveraging AI to make creation processes more accessible and enjoyable for users at all skill levels. Recently, I have been interested in developing AI-assisted interactive systems for songwriters. 🎵
