Junbo Koh

Hello! I'm Junbo Koh, an elementary school teacher with the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education. I hold an M.A. in Educational Technology with an integrated major in Applied Data Science from Seoul National University, where I'm also a member of the Learning Sciences Research Institute.

My research focuses on human-centered AI in education with a theory-driven approach to addressing real-world educational challenges. I'm particularly interested in how AI systems can foster learner agency so that learners can chart their own learning paths and take ownership of their lives.

I'm currently exploring how agentic AI can support professionals' agency from a human-computer interaction (HCI) perspective, and how large language models can support collaborative learning using natural language processing (NLP) techniques.

Feel free to reach out by email if you'd like to chat about research or anything else!
