I am a postdoc in the Robotics Institute at the Carnegie Mellon University working with <a href="https://www.ri.cmu.edu/ri-faculty/aaron-steinfeld/">Prof. Aaron Steinfeld</a>, <a href="https://hennyadmoni.com/">Prof. Henny Admoni</a>, and <a href="http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~reids/">Prof. Reid Simmons</a>. Previously, I was a postdoc at Cornell Univerity working with <a href="https://hrc2.io/">Prof. Guy Hoffman</a>. I completed my Ph.D in Mechanical Engineering at the <a href="https://umich.edu/">University of Michigan</a>, Ann Arbor, advised by <a href="http://www-personal.umich.edu/~tilbury/">Professor Dawn Tilbury</a>.
My research motivation is in developing safe and trustworthy human-AI interactions, whether the human and AI agents are operating together as a team or as individuals.
My research focuses on (i) identifying and examining the effects of various antecedents of trust, (ii) developing computational models of human behaviors and their interaction behaviors with autonomous systems, and (iii) developing adaptive autonomous systems that can calibrate and maintain human trust to improve safety and performance.

In my current postdoc at CMU, I examine how robots should communicate their decision-making process (abstracted as reward function weights) with a group of people, particularly in a human-robot team setting to improve learning, trust, and team performance.
