Biography
Kim is a Professor in Computer Science. After obtaining his PhD in 1989 he worked at the IBM TJ Watson Research Center until joining Monash in 1993.
He was previously Head of the Department of Human-Centred Computing and now leads the Monash Assistive Tech and Society (MATS) Centre.
Research interests
I am currently exploring how new technologies like mixed reality, AI, refreshable tactile displays, and 3D printing can be used to present graphical content and environmental information to people who are blind or have low vision. I'm particularly intereseted in supporting inclusive data understanding and visualisation.
