I am Taewook [teug] Kim, a first year Ph.D. student in Computer Science and Communication Studies at Northwestern University. I work with Matt Kay and Maia Jacobs.

I am interested in leveraging NLP/ML tools to help people share affirmative emotions. I design, build, and evaluate systems. Recently, I am working on designing systems for supporting the mental health of caregivers of a person with dementia.
