Dr. Jimin Rhim is a postdoctoral research fellow at the CRAiEDL lab. She is a human-centred design researcher studying how emerging technologies such as robots and Artificial Intelligence (AI) can be designed in a way that respects sociocultural values. She adopts interdisciplinary research approaches by collaborating with multi-stakeholders (e.g., designers, engineers, social scientists, policymakers, and end-users) to co-create a responsible technological future. She follows the following steps to achieve this goal. First, she synthesizes novel theories that convey the context of human-intelligent system interactions. Second, she translates the theories into tangible intelligent systems designs. Lastly, she validates the efficacy of the intelligent system designs designed with ethics in mind.
Prior to joining CRAiEDL, Dr. Rhim was a postdoc at McGill University and Simon Fraser University. Her doctoral thesis was selected as one of the top research highlights of KAIST (Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology) in 2019 in the Information Technology sector.
