Bio
Kiemute Oyibo is an Assistant Professor of Computer Science with the Interactive Systems Research Group in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. He joined York University in the summer term of 2022. He received his Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Saskatchewan in 2020. He did his postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Waterloo and Carnegie Mellon University.
His research interests include Persuasive Design, Personalization, User Modeling, User Experience, and Digital Health. He has published over 90 scientific papers in these areas, which have received over 1000 citations on Google Scholar. His persuasive design of a culture-tailored fitness app won the Gold Award at the Human Computer Interaction International 2019 Student Design Competition in Florida. His research proposal on designing contact tracing apps as persuasive technologies was nominated for the 2022 national Banting Fellowship competition by the University of Waterloo. Kiemute’s long-term goal is to use personalization to tackle digital health inequities in high-, middle-, and low-income countries. He is currently researching the utilization of machine learning techniques to personalize persuasive systems and bridge the digital divide in the health domain.
When Kiemute is not working, he enjoys writing poetry and working out to keep fit physically and mentally.
