Kim Jin-woo is a professor at the Yonsei School of Business and the head of Yonsei HCI Lab. After earning his degree in Business Administration from Yonsei University, he began his career as a program developer. But he eventually realized that programming wasn’t his true calling, so he pursued an MBA at UCLA. Upon graduation, he worked as a systems consultant at KPMG, but his desire to make a more direct impact on people’s lives led him to Carnegie Mellon University, where he completed his Ph.D. in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). He has been teaching at Yonsei University since 1994. Throughout his career, Professor Kim has served as a technical advisor to Samsung Electronics and LG Electronics, chaired the board at Daum Communications, and been a director at SBS Content Hub. In a more recent stage of his career, he took on the role of president of the HCI Society of Korea for two years. This experience further led to his appointment as the 2015 president of ACM SIGCHI, where he continues to serve on the executive committee. In December 2016, he founded HAII Inc. and embarked on a new venture as a CEO. HAII is a service designed to restore companionship in people’s lives, with the mission of preventing loneliness and depression.
