Hi! My name is Byeong-Joon Kim.
To begin with, my hobbies are playing badminton and other sports that I can enjoy with friends, and watching soccer game like England Premier League or Champions League. It’s always joyful to play with balls which are hard to expect where to go. It’s also exciting when the team which I root for wins the game. In addition, I like listening to rock music because the song often cheers me to relieve stress and regain the energy. Besides, I like watching the movies especially SF genre because it often inspires me to think about the future devises and the society.
Now, I will talk about what I have been through so far. My life was series of traveling. When I was a baby, our family often moved to many cities around Seoul because of my father’s business, and I lived in Bundang-dong during my elementary and middle school days. As I entered Anyang Foreign Language High School, my family moved again to the Anyang City, and now I’m in Songdo! Besides, my family traveled together many countries such as China, USA, Canada, New Zealand and many countries in Europe.
I somewhat regret not interacting with foreigner to know their culture. It’s because I’m the type of introvert people and I didn’t know that traveling was good opportunity to do that. But as you can see, I got used to the changes, and more importantly, these experiences gave me a kind of curiosity to people and their culture all around the world, though I do not yet deeply understand them. Also, I could recognize that there are many people with different physical conditions and interests.
As a result, I got interested in making products or programs that all the people can easily handle with, so I wanted to major in industrial engineering which offers a field of study related to my goal. Then, during high school days I concentrated only on entering the best university. I’ve never dropped the self-study time after school had finished, and I got good grades in almost every subject. I was especially good at physics and calculus which I liked to study the most. I could understand the nature more deeply through them and I found it fun to solve the difficult problem. In addition to high grade, I also participated in many scientific experiments such as molecular gastronomy, making aspirin, and many other ones described on the text books. On top of that, I balanced my knowledge by writing an essay on how Korean companies could survive in china market. I read many books and put lots of effort into it researching on this area. I tried to get different points of view through these experiences. Then I finally applied for School of Integrated Technology where I can take in-depth courses of various areas including my interest, with enormous amount of supporting fund.
Now, To be specific with what I like to study related to my major, I want to learn more about the new network that is integrated with human signals. Recently, as scientists and engineers are broadening their working area to the inside of human, water, and tunnels, they are facing the limit of the electromagnetic wave as means of communication. I want to do a research on nano-scaled Human implantable networks, molecular communications or new networks integrated with human gestures, brain waves. When I am freshman, I will get basic skills studying math, physics, and programming. Then, I will learn more about signals, sensors, and networks.
On top of that, I want to study under Human Machine Interaction(HMI) Lab. I think HMI is upgraded version of Human Computer Interaction(HCI) as nowadays the computer is all around the world, not to mention computers inside of machines. The study area of HMI focuses on various human-computer interaction on the mobile platforms, user environment in the condition of more than two machines, and the relationship between human, machine and society. In this sense, this area is closely related to User Experience. I want to study basics of service design, and I expect to learn some methods to measure and improve the quality of human experience.
Lastly, my dream is simple, making the world more smart. I dream the world, for example, where we do not have to look at the small screen of smart phone, but we can instruct it to do whatever just by posing gestures. Both of nano network technology and service considering UX, which I mentioned above, are required to make my dreams come true. The important point is that cutting edge devices are improving more and more everyday, but the services are not catching up the speed which allow users to fully utilize the devices. I want to give users optimum experience quality by balancing each of them, and I will develop the applications under well-being and entertainment trend. For instance, medical care system, stress-free interface, autonomous driving and automatic household appliance that would save the time for leisure. It would be also interesting to enjoy game outside, moving every part of one’s body as wii games.
