Passionate about fostering trustworthy and effective collaboration between humans and artificial intelligence, I am deeply committed to advancing the ethical and responsible use of Generative AI. With a rich academic background, including a PhD in Computer Science from Drexel University, my expertise lies in understanding and enhancing human trust towards Embodied Virtual Agents (EVAs). Through extensive collaborations with prestigious institutions such as MIT Media Lab, CMU HCII, Harvard University, and UCSD, I have contributed impactful research published in renowned venues like Springer Nature, ACM CHI, and ACM C&C. Recognized as an Outstanding Reviewer by ACM ICMI 2019 and ACM CHI 2021, my work has garnered attention from esteemed media outlets like The Next Web, TechXplore, and CBS News. As an Assistant Teaching Professor at Drexel University College of Computing and Informatics, I have had the privilege of shaping the minds of both undergraduate and graduate students, guiding them through courses that delve into crucial topics such as Artificial Intelligence, Software Engineering, and Computer Graphics. My dedication to education extends beyond the classroom as I've mentored research projects exploring diverse realms, from the intricate workings of the human brain during mind-wandering to the effectiveness of creativity support tools in fostering innovation. Additionally, my tenure as an AI Scientist at TulipAI underscores my commitment to bridging the gap between cutting-edge technology and responsible media creation, ensuring that Generative AI is harnessed ethically and responsibly. Driven by a vision of making AI more trustworthy for humanity, I believe in leveraging my skills to design transparent and fair interactions with AI systems. By facilitating the development of robust human-AI collaboration, I aim to harness the full potential of AI as a force for good, grounded in ethical principles and responsible innovation. With a track record of academic excellence, collaborative research, and a passion for ethical AI development, I am poised to make significant contributions to the evolving landscape of Human-AI interaction.
