About Me

I’m Inha Cha, a Ph.D. student at Georgia Tech working with Prof. Richmond Wong!

My research interests include 1) exploring the sociotechnical factors that influence the development, adoption, use, and abandonment of AI tools in professional settings, and 2)understanding how AI practitioners integrate social values and ethics into their work. Before joining Georgia Tech, I worked as an AI product UX designer at Upstage. I completed my master's degree in the Dept. of Industrial Design at KAIST. I did my undergrad in Aesthetics and Information Science at Seoul National University.
