Minha Lee is an assistant professor at the Eindhoven University of Technology‘s Industrial Design department. Her research explores how we can design interactions with conversational agents like robots or chatbots as our moral mirrors for exploring moral emotions and concepts like compassion or fairness. If technology extends who we are, what does it mean to treat AI compassionately or fairly?
Lee’s interest in moral emotions centers on compassion and how it can help with mental well-being. She is curious about other moral emotions like gratitude, guilt, or awe, and if technology can be incorporated to explore them. She has been interviewed about her research on television, podcasts, and the web.
She completed her PhD at the TU/e’s Human-Technology Interaction and Philosophy & Ethics groups. Her dissertation was on interactional morality. Previously she studied Human Centered Multimedia at University of Amsterdam, Philosophy at University of Minnesota – Twin Cities, and Digital Arts at Pratt Institute where she created works like an animated short that was apparently banned by a festival.
