Joon Hyub Lee is a research professor at the DRB-KAIST SketchTheFuture Research Center. He earned his B.S. in mechanical engineering (’12), M.S. in industrial design (’18), and Ph.D. in industrial design (’23) from KAIST. He has developed intuitive interaction techniques and systems that integrate advanced technologies in virtual reality (VR), artificial intelligence (AI), and 3D sketching, and applied them to various design fields.

He has 30+ publications in international academic journals and conferences in human-computer interaction (HCI) and human-robot interaction (HRI) fields, including ACM TOG, ACM SIGGRAPH, ACM CHI, ACM UIST, and IEEE ICRA. Notably, his paper “Rapid Design of Articulated Objects,” published in ACM TOG in 2022, received the Honorable Mention award at ACM SIGGRAPH 2022 Emerging Technologies, and his demo “RobotSketch” received the Jury's Choice Award at ACM SIGGRAPH Asia 2024 Real-Time Live!.
