I am Taewook [teug] Kim, a third year Ph.D. student in Computer Science and Communication at Northwestern University. I work with Matt Kay.
I study how to steer the impact of language to improve human well-being. Specifically, I am interested in designing novel interactions that could entertain people. I enjoy building systems and understanding people.
