About Me

I am an interaction researcher and currently an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at School of Computing and Information Systems, Singapore Management University, and part of the lively SMU HCI community.

My research focuses on improving interactions between humans 💪 and intelligent agents 🦾 (robots or virtual assistants), by building agents that understand human intentions, maintain transparency about their decisions, and adapt to individuals’ needs.

📢 I am recruiting in-person/remote RAs and fully-funded PhD students (starting Fall 2024). If interested, drop me an email or fill in this form.
