Hi, I am Sungbok. 

I am a Postdoctoral Fellow at Team Aviz, Inria Saclay Center in Saclay, France, working with Dr. Jean-Daniel Fekete. I am very glad to be back in Paris, where I used to live from 1996 to 1999.

I received the Ph.D. degree from the Dept. of Computer Science at the University of Maryland, College Park, MD, United States, in 2024. My advisor was Dr. Niklas Elmqvist. I was a member of VisTeam at the Human-Computer Interaction Laboratory (HCIL). Prior to studying at UMD, I worked with Dr. Jaegul Choo as a master's student in Computer Science and Engineering at Korea University, from Mar. 2017 to Feb. 2019. I earned my bachelor's degree in Computer Science and Engineering / Mathematics (dual degree), also at Korea University in Feb. 2017. 

My research contributes to the fields of Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HCAI) and Information Visualization. I try to think of ways to augment visualization design process using AI techniques. 

I also worked on, and am still interested in other topics such as (1) situated visualizations (embedding data visualization to the World), (2) urban analytics (topic-driven anomalous event detection in urban areas), and (3) AI applications in general. 

My email addresses are sbshin90@cs.umd.edu, or sb.shin.mail@gmail.com. Either of them is fine. Here is my CV.
