This and the Pioneer Research Center for Biomolecular and Cellular Structure are the first of two such centers at IBS.[14][15][16]Headed by Meeyoung, the Data Science Group researchesfake news,perception biases in relation to AI, deep learning of heterogeneous data for modeling human behavior, and prediction efforts through language processing and image analysis.[17]Seeing theinfodemicon COVID-19 information starting in China and spreading to Korea and the US, the Data Science Group and researchers fromEwha Womans University,started the multilingual Facts Before Rumors campaign to separate common claims seen online.[18][19][20][21]

She has been named BACUDA science collaborator of theWorld Customs Organization,[22]is a member of the Seoul Forum for International Affairs, and a commissioner for the Presidential Council on Intellectual Property, Open Data Mediation Committee,National Tax Service,Korea Customs Service,andKorea Copyright Commission.[23][24][25]

In June 2024, she will relocate to the Max Planck Institute for Security and Privacy in Germany to become a scientific director at theMax Planck Societyheading the Data Science for Humanity research group.[26][27]She will become the first South Korea director and second Asian female scientist to hold such a position at Max Planck.[28][29]
