Hi. I'm Haesoo Kim 😎

I'm currently working on my Ph.D in Information Science at Cornell University, member of the Social Media Lab led by Prof. Natalie Bazarova.

My research interests are focused on online social interactions, specifically around social media. My interest lies in the interesction of exploring antisocial behavior, risks, and negative experiences in online spaces, and how they intersect with individuals' self-expression, exploration, and community building. My main focus is on how people explore and express aspects of the self through online spaces, despite or in spite of these risks. Other interests include digital literacy & education, interactive narratives, accessibility, AI/tech ethics, and fandom studies.

Previously, I earned Bachelor's degrees in Computer Science & Engineering, Psychology, and Information Science & Culture at Seoul National University College of Liberal Studies. I also have a Master's degree at KAIST School of Computing, co-advised by Prof. Juho Kim and Prof. Jeong-woo Jang as a member of KIXLAB.

Outside of research, I spend my free time swing dancing, reading, singing, or obsessing over something or another. I also really enjoy trying new things! 😉
