Matthew K. Hong
Human-Centered AI, Toyota Research Institute.
Dr. Matthew K. Hong is a Senior Research Scientist on the Future Product Innovation team within the Human-Centered AI division at Toyota Research Institute. Currently, he leads a team of behavioral scientists, ML and HCI researchers and explores the use of generative AI in amplifying human creativity for product design. He manages a portfolio of projects to innovate the conceptual design process, including augmenting design space exploration with semantics and analogical transfer, supporting visual style mixing with zero-shot interpolation, and developing interventions aimed at supporting professional creatives.
Matthew’s research has led to deployed technologies (e.g., HAX Playbook) and publications in leading conference proceedings, including ACM SIGCHI, and a best paper award. Recently, his research on creativity and Human-AI interaction has been covered by MIT Sloan and the WIRED.
He holds a Ph.D. in Human-Centered Computing from Georgia Tech, Master’s in Human-Computer Interaction from Carnegie Mellon University, and a B.S. in Cognitive Science from the University of California, San Diego.
