About
Sohyeong Kim is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of human-computer interaction (HCI) and culinary arts, best known for coining the "Human Chef to Computer Chef" framework. In their most-cited work (2017, 12 citations), Kim introduced the Culinary Interactions Framework, which systematically maps how technology transforms traditional cooking practices—from recipe creation to automated meal preparation. This foundational paper has shaped discussions on designing intuitive interfaces for smart kitchens, food robots, and digital gastronomy tools. Kim’s contributions bridge the gap between computational systems and the sensory, cultural, and improvisational nature of cooking, offering a roadmap for HCI researchers and food-tech innovators. While their citation count reflects a niche but growing field, Kim’s work is notable for its interdisciplinary vision, merging ethnography, design, and computer science. Their research has been presented at key HCI venues and continues to influence emerging studies on AI-assisted cooking and human-robot collaboration in domestic spaces. For students and researchers, Kim’s framework remains a critical lens for understanding how technology can augment—rather than replace—the artistry of human culinary practice.
