박지영 | Ph.D. student | HCI & Haptics

👩🏻‍🎓 About

I am a Ph.D. student in the Department of Applied Artificial Intelligence at Hanyang University. My research focuses on intelligent haptic interfaces, sensorimotor skill learning, and AI-powered multimodal accessibility systems for blind and low-vision users.

I am particularly interested in how adaptive haptic feedback can enhance dexterous skill acquisition. In parallel, I develop multimodal accessibility systems that combine tactile displays, audio interaction, and AI-based content understanding to support independent information access for BLVI users.

Through the integration of haptics, AI, and user-centered design, I aim to build intelligent interactive systems that improve learning efficiency, performance, and accessibility.
