RESEARCH

• Human Augmentation and Affective Systems I envision and develop systems that augment and modify human perception and expression across physical and virtual environments. My work spans affective haptics, physiological sensing, VR embodiment, and multimodal interaction techniques that connect people with themselves and with each other.
• Trustworthy Human-AI Interaction I investigate how people perceive, trust, and interact with AI systems through behavioral and physiological signals. My work focuses on AI disclosures, LLM evaluation biases, and the design of transparent, human-centered AI interfaces for health, journalism, and everyday decision-making.
