Jane Im

Jane Im (임제인) is a scholar specializing in human-computer interaction and privacy research. She is a tenured faculty member at the CISPA Helmholtz Center for Information Security, where she leads the "Real-World Interactions and Systemic Change" (RISC) research group. She holds a Ph.D. from the University of Michigan's School of Information and Department of Computer Science and Engineering, where she studied under renowned scholar Kentaro Toyama. Jane's research focuses on designing and building consent-centered computational systems that empower users, particularly marginalized groups, to take control in interactions and data processing. Her work spans deployable system designs, theoretical frameworks, and empirical studies, significantly contributing to the development of consent-centered systems. Her research has advanced the fields of social computing and privacy protection, aiming to drive positive social change through technological innovation.
