Biography

  Hojin Lee received a Ph.D. degree from Interaction Laboratory (former name: Haptics and Virtual Reality Laboratory) at Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) under the supervision of Prof. Seungmoon Choi. Specifically, he focused on the development and evaluation of the expert driving skill modeling and training (education) to novice drivers in virtual environments using artificial neural networks and haptic assistance. In his Ph.D. phase, he has participated in other research topics as well: such as mid-air laser haptics, haptic memorization methods, English education using haptic feedback, haptic refrigerator prototyping, etc.

  He has strong interest in the implementation and validation of haptic technologies for virtual and real-world applications, for various relevant research areas, including human skill modeling / learning / transfer, human-computer interaction / human-robot interaction, virtual reality (VR), perception / psychophysics, and cognitive science.

  He is now working as a senior researcher at VR/AR Content Research Section in Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI), Daejeon, South Korea.
