Sang is an Assistant Professor in the Human-Centered Design program at Cornell University, where his research focuses on the notion of symbiosis between human and technology through making. His current interest lies in new horizons of AI systems that are interpretive, embodied, and entangled. Through the design of alternative technology artifacts, he envisions new forms of human-computer relationship that better support individualities, somatic experiences, and long-term engagement. He leads the Machine Poetics Lab, which engages in a mix of art, engineering, and empirical methods to explore future technology experiences.

Previous to joining Cornell, he was a Senior Principal Creative Technologist at Samsung Design Innovation Center, leading the early development of human-centered AI products. Between 2019 and 2021, he was an Assistant Professor at Georgia Tech, after he received his PhD from MIT Media Lab. He was a software engineer at Samsung Electronics where he led the software development of eyeCan, an open-source DIY eye-mouse designed for people with motor disability.

The impact of his research spans from publications in top tier HCI conferences such as CHI, TEI, and NIME, journals including Leonardo and IEEE Pervasive Computing, to design awards and art exhibitions. Several of his work were awarded the Fast Company Innovation by Design Award, and have been shown in art exhibitions at SIGGRAPH ASIA, CHI, TEI, and more. His work A Flying Pantograph was included in the Otherly Space / Knowledge exhibition at the Asia Culture Center along with some of the most prominent new media artists today. In 2014, He was an artist-in-residence at Microsoft Research Studio 99 where he created Remnance of Form, an interactive light and shadow installation.
