Hi! My name is Kayoon. I am a master's student studying Quantitative Data Science at the University of Tübingen. Currently, I am writing my master's thesis at the Porsche Human-Centered AI Research Lab.

Bio

My research vision is to ensure humanity benefits from AI and algorithms that facilitate interactions between people and systems in everyday life. To achieve this goal, I focus on (1) characterizing problems and developing data-driven solutions, and (2) enhancing human decision-making while preventing marginalization through algorithms and design. My research interests are the Human-AI/Vehicle Interaction, Decision-making, and Computational Social Science.

Previously, I was a research intern at Bosch Center for Artificial Intelligence (BCAI). I also worked as a research assistant at the Methods Center at the University of Tübingen. I studied Sociology and Computer Science during my bachelor's degree, which laid the foundation for my interdisciplinary research. I worked on exciting projects at HIKE Lab, Da Move Lab, and CAU Data Science Lab.
