🙌 I am actively looking for research internship opportunities.
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. I enjoy building systems and studying people. Recently, I’m working on personalizing language media arts (e.g., lyrics, scripts) to user contexts by leveraging generative AI.
