Chang is interested in finding new meanings for interaction and to explore novel methods of communication between human and machine.
Chang was featured in the UK Design Council's One's to Watch list, a list of the 70 most talented emerging designers in the UK.
He was also elected by the Overseas Korean Foundation (OKF) as one of Korean Future Leaders. His research and projects have been widely discussed at institutions such as the Royal College of Art (RCA), Harvard University, University College London (UCL), Carnegie Mellon University, Camden Arts Centre and the Open Senses festival.
His work has appeared in various print publications, such as the Design Journal and the book Synaesthesia (MIT Press, 2018), as well as online platforms such as BBC, WIRED, and ACM Interactions. His research has been published and distributed on internationally recognised domains such as ACM CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI 2017 & 2019), International Association of Societies of Design Research (IASDR), ACM SIGCHI Designing Interactive Systems (DIS 2018 Best Paper Award-PWIP) and International Astronautical Congress (IAC). He is a fellow of the Royal Society of Arts (RSA)
He has a PhD in Innovation Design Engineering from the RCA. He is a graduate of the Central Academy of Fine Arts (CAFA) and obtained his master’s in Design Critical Practice at Goldsmiths, University of London.
