She received B.F.A. and M.I.D. degrees in Industrial Design from Sook-Myung Women\u2019s University and M.S. and Ph.D. from Georgia Tech. Her teaching and research activities focus on applying evidence based design in innovation and creativity. Her research interests are focused on topics related to the roles played by users, industrial designers, engineers and marketers during the process of creating new products and assistive technologies. Current projects are focused on understanding the validity of usability evaluations based on design representation along with how input is applied by the designer to produce better design decisions and improved products. These have included development of augmented reality and tangible augmented reality as design evaluation tools to asses usability and the human factors and ergonomics aspects of products to both better inform designers and communicate more effectively with end users. New approaches have been applied in research collaborations funded through the National Science Foundation (NSF) and industry collaborations such as with LG Electronics USA. In class applications have been funded by the Wireless Rehabilitation Engineering Research Center (RERC) and the Shepherd Center. She has received the National Science Foundation ADVANCE Program Women of Excellence Award, College of Design.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EEducational Background\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E2009 \u2013 Ph.D., Architecture (Industrial Design) \u2013 Georgia Institute of Technology\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; Minor emphasis - Marketing Management\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E2002 \u2013 M.Sc., Industrial Design - Georgia Institute of Technology\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E2000 \u2013 M.I.D., Industrial (Product and Space) Design \u2013 Sook-Myung Women\u2019s University\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E1998 \u2013 B.F.A., Industrial (Product) Design \u2013 Sook-Myung Women\u2019s University\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Ch4\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EProfessional Experience\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/h4\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EGeorgia Institute of Technology\u003C\/strong\u003E,Atlanta, Georgia\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cul\u003E\u003Cli\u003EAssistant Professor, School of Industrial Design : May 2012 - Present\u003Cul\u003E\u003Cli\u003EIndustrial Design faculty advisor for the Rehabilitation Engineering Research Center (RERC) for Wireless Technology: Oct. 2014-present\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003EHuman-Computer Interaction, Master of Science Program (MS-HCI) faculty member : 2013 - Present\u003C\/li\u003E\u003C\/ul\u003E\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003EVisiting Assistant Professor, School of Industrial Design (Full Time): May 2010 - May 2012\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003EGraduate Research Scientist, Center for Assistive Technology and Environmental Access (CATEA) at Georgia Tech : Fall 2004 - August 2010\u003C\/li\u003E\u003C\/ul\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ETime \u0026amp; Space Tech, \u003C\/strong\u003ESeoul, South Korea\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cul\u003E\u003Cli\u003EMarketing Associate \u0026amp; Coordinator : February 2000 - August 2000\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003EMarketing Intern \u0026amp; Part-time Employee : January 1998 - February 2000\u003C\/li\u003E\u003C\/ul\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EProfessional Qualification\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ESouth Korea national technical qualification holder of Industrial Engineer Product Design\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EQualification Certificate Number:\u0026nbsp; 97408010039G\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Ch4\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EFields\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/h4\u003E\u003Cp\u003ENew Product Innovation\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EMarketing Management\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAssistive Technology\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EUniversal Design\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EHuman Factors and Ergonomics\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EUser Needs\/Usability\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003Eimproving product design processes and methods; satisfaction of end user needs; design in multifunctional environments; design of assistive technologies; human factors\/ergonomics and usability\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":"","uid":"27215","created_gmt":"2010-11-30 09:23:02","changed_gmt":"2016-08-23 21:44:41","author":"Mike Alberghini","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","extras":[],"hg_media":{"149211":{"id":"149211","type":"image","title":"Young Mi Choi 2012","body":null,"created":"1449178763","gmt_created":"2015-12-03 21:39:23","changed":"1475894782","gmt_changed":"2016-10-08 02:46:22","alt":"Young Mi Choi 2012","file":{"fid":"195142","name":"youngmichoi.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/youngmichoi.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/youngmichoi.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":431670,"path_740":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/youngmichoi.jpg?itok=4lMCK0Y1"}}},"media_ids":["149211"],"groups":[{"id":"1225","name":"School of Industrial Design"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[{"id":"9302","name":"School of Industrial Design"}],"classification":["Faculty"],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":["christina.choi@gatech.edu"],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
