About
Jin Soun Jung is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of social welfare, engineering, and design, whose work focuses on developing innovative therapeutic interventions for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Her most significant contributions center on the creation and application of eco-friendly cat robots as tools to enhance social interaction and communication in young patients. In her landmark 2015 study, "A Study on the Effects of using an Eco-Friendly Cat Robot to Treat Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder," Jung demonstrated how robotic companions can serve as effective bridges for social engagement, a finding that has garnered 7 citations and sparked interdisciplinary interest. Building on this, her 2014 work, "Development of Therapeutic Expression for a Cat Robot in the Treatment of Autism Spectrum Disorders," details the meticulous process of designing a cat character based on user requirements to maximize therapeutic expression. By fusing robotics with clinical care, Jung has laid foundational groundwork for assistive technologies in autism therapy, offering a compassionate, scalable solution that continues to inspire researchers in human-robot interaction and pediatric mental health.
