About
Harrison Kim is a researcher specializing in the environmental and economic sustainability of autonomous systems, with a particular focus on applying rigorous analytical frameworks to emerging technologies in agriculture and beyond. His work addresses a critical gap in the literature: while autonomous machines are increasingly celebrated for their potential to enhance safety, productivity, and efficiency, their actual sustainability performance has remained largely unquantified. Kim has pioneered the use of life cycle assessment (LCA) and life cycle costing (LCC) methodologies to systematically evaluate these systems, offering both environmental and economic perspectives that are essential for informed design and policy decisions. His 2020 case study on autonomous systems in the agricultural industry and his 2021 comparative analysis of autonomous lawn mowing systems versus human-operated alternatives have together accumulated 35 citations, reflecting growing interest in his approach. By grounding sustainability evaluations in real-world case studies, Kim's research provides actionable insights for engineers, designers, and policymakers seeking to develop more environmentally responsible and economically viable autonomous technologies. His contributions are particularly valuable for students and researchers navigating the intersection of automation, sustainability science, and industrial ecology.
