Founder and CEO, Suhwa
Heeyoung is building a wearable interface that turns natural gestures into reliable digital actions. Suhwa gives people a private, simple way to interact with AI glasses and other smart devices in the moments when speaking, reaching for a screen, or raising a camera is awkward or impractical.
His PhD work at the University of Texas at Austin focused on wearable EMG and EEG sensing and human machine interaction, building sensors and algorithms meant to hold up during motion, across different users and sensor placements, and over long wear outside the lab.
