Hello, my name is Kem-Laurin: I am a PhD Candidate at the University of Waterloo, where I research traditional rhetoric, computational methods, and AI identity research. I am also 1/2 of the co-founding member of Human Tech Futures.

Specializing in Computational Rhetoric, I explore the link between AI and Identity Characterization. My notable publications include "User Experience in the Age of Sustainability" and my presentation paper, "Interacting with eXtended Reality and Artificial Intelligence Series: ‘Conversations Towards Practiced AI – HCI Heuristics.’" Leveraging my Humanities and design expertise, I aim to develop ethically grounded AI systems, advocating for a digital space that amplifies humanity's finest qualities through understanding machine rhetoric and its impact on digital identity creation.

I am also a past Design Research leader at Siemens, Research in Motion (Blackberry) and Autodesk.
