About

Irene Kim

My Korean name is SeongKyung Kim.

I am interested in many different academic field such as deep learning, game AI, VR, and HCI. Although my interest covers broad areas it comes down to one theme:

AI for vulnerable people

My goal is to deeply understand humans to make human-centred machines to aid those who are in need. Specifically I am passionate about understanding, detecting, and preventing abnormal and self-destructive behaviours leveraging AI and games. In short, I am a data scientist hoping to make the world a slightly better place to live…!
