Hi, I’m Han. I hold an M.Sc. in Computer Science and am currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Human-Centered Computing at Clemson University.

My research advances responsible AI by examining how design and governance decisions shape outcomes related to fairness, privacy, and human agency. Guided by my advisor, Dr. Bart Knijnenburg, I study how people perceive, reason about, and navigate AI technologies—specifically how they form expectations, weigh risks, and exercise agency when interacting with these systems. By translating these empirical insights into actionable guidelines for researchers, ethics boards, designers, and policymakers, I aim to develop usable, privacy-preserving, secure, and trustworthy AI systems.

With over five years of experience across academia and industry, I have collaborated with researchers in multiple countries, strengthening my global perspective on privacy challenges and user needs.

Beyond research, I serve as the President of the Graduate Student Association at Clemson University, where I lead initiatives to enhance academic and professional growth within our community.
