Hi, I’m Hyojin Ju.

I am actively exploring human-centered intelligent systems, asking the long-term research question:

“Could highly intelligent AI systems reduce social conflicts by mitigating the inevitable human errors behind them?”

As an amateur researcher, I have been delving into the question of what kinds of AI systems would be effective in addressing various real-life communication challenges and how to design and develop such systems.

My current research interests include personal AI assistants, large language models that mimic human cognitive and emotional processes, and personality and social psychology.
