Human-AI Agent Interaction and AI Memory

I am Munyeong Kim (김문영), an M.S. Candidate in the Department of Computer Science and Operations Research (DIRO) at Université de Montréal.

My research focuses on human-AI agent interaction, especially the memory systems that interactive agents build over time. I study what agents remember through interaction, how those memories can be refined, and how users can shape or design them.

Current Focus

Human-Computer Interaction, Human-AI interaction, shared memory between humans and AI agents, interfaces that support human productivity, agentic decision-making and human behavior simulation.
