I completed my doctorate at the University of Maryland College Park, where I conducted research with the Perception and Robotics Group (PRG) in the Department of Computer Science under the guidance of Prof. Yiannis Aloimonos (CS), Dr. Cornelia Fermuller (UMIACS), Dr. Irina Muresanu (School of Music), and Dr. Ge Gao (iSchool). I also collaborated with the Culture Lab in the Department of Psychology under the guidance of Dr. Michelle Gelfand.
Currently, I work at NIST, contributing to the development of new standards and recommended practices for designing of human subject studies in human-robot interaction. My research lies at the intersection of artificial intelligence, human factors, robotics, arts, and culture. I am particularly passionate about multidisciplinary approaches to creating rich, intuitive experiences that amplify human abilities and empower individuals while ensuring transparency, human understanding, and control.1 Recently, my work has focused on AI for education, particularly music education, and human-AI interaction, with an emphasis on human-robot interaction.
