Soya Park

I am a postdoctoral researcher at Emory University. My advisor is Chinmay Kulkarni.

I study and develop collaborative technology in groups and examine whether it is inclusive within the groups. I am particularly focusing on the user experience perceived by contextually marginalized individuals within the group, specifically low-status workers. My research is in human computer interaction. I received an IBM PhD fellowship and a Kwanjeong fellowship.
