Jaewook Lee

Human-Computer Interaction Researcher

Hi! I'm Jaewook (I prefer to go by Jae)! I'm an incoming Ph.D. student at the University of Washington, where I will be advised by Prof. Jon Froehlich in the Makeability Lab. I'm a Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) researcher who aspires to answer the following question: how can we design more personalized mobile technologies and software that can better assist each user with their day-to-day life? To achieve this, I build context-aware, XR & AI-powered mobile solutions that can understand us and our surroundings. I envision future mobile devices to be not just ubiuquitous, but also more people-aware.

When I'm not conducting research, I hang out with friends, play tennis, cook Korean food, play video games! A recent hobby of mine is creating my own mobile video games.

I'm open to chatting about research & pretty much anything else! The best way to reach me is to my email: jaewook4@cs.washington.edu

Research Interests

Context-Aware Computing

Can we empower mobile devices to gather contexts from its users and surroundings (e.g., using sensors or computer vision)?

Mobile Computing

Can we equip mobile devices with the necessary tools (e.g., ML) such that they can process and make sense of contextual data?

XR (VR/AR/MR)

Can we display results (e.g., suggestions) to users in an interactive, in-situ manner?
