Top SchoolJane Im is a tenure-track faculty member at CISPA Helmholtz Center for Information Security and an HCI researcher who designs digital systems that center user consent, agency, privacy, and safety. With a PhD from the University of Michigan (co-advised by Kentaro Toyama) and a decade of experience spanning doctoral research, industry internships at Facebook and Sassafras, and a deferred Airbnb placement, she blends rigorous mixed-methods research with practical system-building.

Jane’s background in both business and computer science (Korea University) gives her a rare cross-disciplinary lens for translating ethical principles into deployable designs.
