Brief biography
Soojeong Yoo is a Research Fellow at the UCL Interaction Centre and a member of the Wellcome/EPSRC Centre for Interventional and Surgical Sciences (WEISS). She is also in the honorary scholar at the University Sydney and Westmead Research and Education Network in Australia. Before joining UCL, she was an Associate Lecturer in Design and Health at Design Lab at the University of Sydney.
She was awarded her PhD at the University of Sydney, Australia, which investigated how the level of physical activity that can be captured during gameplay and how a long-term user model can be created for individual players, as a foundation for supporting the user in gaining personal informatics insights about their exertion as well as being used for personalisation and external recommendation for VR games. She also holds a B.Com (Hons) from the Human Interface Technology Laboratory (HIT Lab) Australia.
