- Fluid Interfaces
Minsol "Michelle" Kim is a Graduate student and a researcher at the MIT Media Lab. She completed her Master’s in the Fluid Interfaces Group and is currently pursuing her PhD in the Multisensory Intelligence Group.
Her research centers on human-centered AI, drawing on her background in Human–Computer Interaction (HCI). She focuses on developing interpretable and causally aware computational approaches for longitudinal user modeling using human signals, such as physiological signals and speech, from mobile and wearable AI systems.
Drawing on behavioral and cognitive science, Michelle also studies and develops AI interactions that support long-term human skill development, including metacognition, self-regulation, and habit change, in everyday health and wellness contexts. Her work has been presented at leading venues including CHI, NeurIPS, AAAI/ACM AIES, IEEE BSN, and others.
Michelle is also actively involved in the AHA (Advancing Humans with AI) Program and was an instructor for MAS.S64 Designing AI for Human Flourishing course in fall 2025. She was also selected to be part of the MIT Media Lab cohort for Bangkok 2025: Building a Better Future for All, where she gave several talks on “MetaSelf: Wearable AI Systems for Augmenting Metacognition and Self-Regulation” during the Media Lab Immersion Session in Tokyo and served as a mentor in the AI & Robotics Hackathon in Bangkok in December 2025.
In January 2026, Michelle participated in the MIT Media Lab Research at Scale program in Shenzhen, where she worked on manufacturing smart rings for behavioral and internal-state sensing and connected with the global ecosystem for scaling research.
Michelle is actively seeking collaborators and motivated students for Summer/Fall 2026 to contribute to these efforts in designing human-centered wearable AI systems . Feel free to email Michelle with your *resume* and a brief statement of interest for collaboration.
