Biography
Youngsoo Shin is a doctoral student, studying Human Behavior and Design at Cornell University. He has taken part in interdisciplinary research projects which enabled him to study research methodologies and to enjoy extensive study. Specifically, he has attempted to (1) study the environment of experiencing products from the perspective of human-centered design, (2) analyze preceding factors to improve the user's well-being, and (3) explore ways to influence user behaviors through interaction in a digital environment.
Prior to joining Cornell, he also worked as a professional practitioner. Through his research experience at McKinsey, the worldwide consulting firm, he devoted his time to understanding customer behaviors by participating in projects on consumer insights and technology innovation. Also, as a data scientist and UX researcher at AMOREPACIFIC, one of the largest cosmetic manufacturers in Asia, he conducted on the customers’ unmet needs through applying various Machine Learning and Text Mining techniques in the new product development process.
His research interests lie in the intersection of the two fields of human behavior and information technology with a focus on exploring various ways to improve user experiences, which is becoming a significant component of the human-computer interaction field. He believes that the advent of information technology allows designers to interplay with users in real-time, collect their behavioral data within a variety of environments, and also, conversely, to have the opportunity to intervene directly with their experiences.
He is very curious about the human mind. He always has a strong desire to find, analyze, and predict behavior patterns using data-driven and evidence-based methods from machine learning, data mining, and qualitative socio-cognitive sciences. Thus, in his research, he expects to use various digital footprint data sets produced from various touch-points of a space-time environment in which user and technology interaction are at that core.
