| Profile | Wayne is currently an associate professor in the School of Media, Arts, and Science and Director of the Korea Text Initiative at the Cambridge Institute for the Study of Korea in Cambridge, Massachusetts (http://www.koreatext.org/). He also represents the Korean National Body at ISO as Convener of a working group on document description, processing languages, and semantic metadata (ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 34 WG 9). Wayne’s research integrates approaches from literary studies, bibliography, and design, as well as information science and artificial intelligence. Recent articles and book chapters by Wayne have appeared in the Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology (2021), Translation Review (2021), Enthymema (2020), The Materiality of Reading (Aarhus University Press, 2020), A Companion to World Literature (Ken Seigneurie ed., Wiley-Blackwell, 2020), and Library Hi-Tech (2020). Wayne’s bibliographical study of Chindallaekkot (Azaleas), a canonical book of modern Korean poetry, appeared in 2014 from Somy?ng Publishing. In 2011, his book-length translation of poetry by Jeongrye Choi, Instances, appeared from Parlor Press. Books designed and produced by Wayne have appeared from the Korea Institute at Harvard University, the University of Washington Press, and Tamal Vista Publications, an award-winning press he ran before joining the faculty of Sogang University. Wayne’s artwork has appeared at several conferences and exhibitions, including HCI Korea 2014, DAW BioArt Seoul 2015, the Corner Gallery (Seoul 2019), and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (Zurich, 2021). Films produced by Wayne have been screened at the Korean Society of Media & Arts (2021) and the Moving Image Technology Association of Korea (2020). Some of his recent research projects have concerned the use of deep learning to improve Korean optical character recognition (funded by the National Library of Korea), for which he received a national citation of merit. Wayne’s degrees are from Whitman College, Seoul National University, and Harvard. |
