About
I'm a Postdoctoral Researcher at Stanford University, working at the Stanford Intelligent Systems Laboratory (SISL) with Professor Mykel Kochenderfer. I also serve as Executive Director of the Stanford Center for AI Safety, lead Human Factors Research and Lab Operations at the Stanford Flight Simulator Laboratory, and am Assistant to the Editors-in-Chief at JAIR. Before joining SISL, I completed my Ph.D. at the University of Virginia in Systems and Information Engineering, co-advised by Professors Peter Beling and Matthew Bolton.
My research centers on Human-Agent Teaming and Human-Centered AI, with a focus on designing intelligent systems that enhance collaboration and empower human decision-making. I am particularly interested in how AI can be developed to complement human strengths, preserve autonomy, and align with human values across diverse domains.
