My research focuses on human-like virtual agents driven by large language models (LLMs), and their impact on human communication and training.
Currently building SOPHIE, a new paradigm for learning difficult conversations with the help of AI.
Research Experience: Anthropomorphism in LLMs, Agentic Workflow, Virtual Avatars, Human-AI Interactions, Synthetic Data for Computer Vision, AI for Education, ML for Code, ML for Healthcare
