Research Interests

My research interests lie in human-AI interaction, with a focus on facilitating effective, natural, and trustworthy collaboration between humans and AI systems. My research involves the integration of computational models that capture the dynamics of human cognition, enabling AI-driven systems to socially interact with non-expert human users. Particularly, I create AI systems/agents/interfaces that are capable of

developing mutual understandings between humans and AIs
calibrating human trust/reliance
nudging a user decision with dynamic explanation biasing
mind-aware communication
