Hello, I'm Chaerin Song 🍒

I am a Master's student in Communication at Seoul National University, where I research Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) at the SNU hci+d lab.

My research focuses on human-AI Interaction and the practical application of AI in Journalism. I aim to design technologies that facilitate more meaningful human communication, leveraging digital tools to solve real-world interaction challenges and empower individuals.

With a human-centered perspective, I analyze everyday behaviors to uncover deep insights, striving to create designs that truly resonate with people and generate a positive social impact 🌏.
