Sieun Kim

I am a first-year PhD student in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Michigan, advised by Prof. Junyi Zhu in the SIX Lab. My research focuses on designing interfaces that semantically interpret human actions through multimodal sensory data and developing digital assistance systems that respond to human intent without requiring explicit input.

Before Michigan, I completed my undergraduate studies at Seoul National University, double-majoring in Computer Science and Engineering and Chemical and Biological Engineering, and worked with Prof. Youngki Lee (SNU), Prof. Juho Kim (KAIST), and Prof. Jon Froehlich (UW) on projects spanning NeRF, 3D Gaussian Splatting, feedback systems for online gig work, and AR language learning.
