Presenter

I am currently a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Industrial and Operations Engineering at the University of Michigan, advised by Prof. X. Jessie Yang. Prior to this, I earned a B.S. in Industrial Engineering, a B.F.A. in Design, and a B.B.A. (Business Administration) in 2020, followed by an M.S. in Industrial Engineering in 2022, all from Seoul National University, South Korea.

Since joining the Interaction and Collaboration Research Lab (ICRL), I have been deeply engaged in exploring human trust in autonomy and how individual behaviors adapt depending on personal characteristics, autonomy features, and system design. My primary focus is on multi-agent human-autonomy interaction (HAI), which involves multiple humans and/or intelligent agents. I aim to uncover multi-referent trust dynamics under various collaboration scenarios. My core research question centers on how the unique characteristics of human interaction and teaming, such as the balance between self-interest and altruistic behavior, the tendency to display cognitive biases when judging teammates or situations, and the need for mutual support, manifest in HAI. Ultimately, I aim to design user trust-aware systems that can foster desirable outcomes.
