Minsol "Michelle" Kim is a Graduate student and a researcher at the MIT Media Lab.
Her research centers on Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and multimodal AI, with a focus on interpreting biomarkers from multimodal wearables (physiological data, audio, text) and leveraging large language models to support human capabilities while preserving user agency. Drawing on psychology and cognitive science, she designs interactive human–AI systems for everyday use that support mental health, emotion regulation, and behavior change. Her work also explores computational approaches for creating interpretable and explainable models that generate actionable insights for users, presenting related works at multiple conferences and journals such as NeurIPS, AAAI/ACM AIES, CHI, UbiComp, IEEE BSN, and others.
Michelle is also actively involved in the AHA (Advancing Humans with AI) Program and is an instructor for MAS.S64 Designing AI for Human Flourishing course this fall 2025. She is also selected to be part of the MIT Media Lab cohort for Bangkok 2025: Building a Better Future for All, where she will be giving a talk in the Media Lab Immersion Session in Tokyo and participating in the AI & Robotics Hackathon in Bangkok (sub-theme: health) this December 2025.
Michelle is actively seeking collaborators and motivated students for winter 2026 to contribute to these efforts (multimodal foundation model using audio and ECG data, RLHF, and adaptive voice agent). Feel free to email Michelle with your resume and a brief statement of interest for collaboration.
