👩‍💻 About Me

Nayoung Kim is a fourth-year Computer Science Ph.D. student at the School of Computing and Augmented Intelligence (SCAI) at Arizona State University, specializing in advancing trustworthiness and truthfulness in AI to develop fair, robust, and accurate NLP/LLM systems. Her recent research focuses on enhancing fairness and robustness in GenAI algorithms, particularly in the context of large language models in social media mining. Currently, she works full-time as a research assistant at DHS-CAOE and Data Mining and Machine Learning (DMML) Laboratory, under the mentorship of Dr. Huan Liu and Dr. Mickey Mancenido. Before joining DMML lab, she obtained CSE bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Korea University advised by Dr. Jaewoo Kang.
