The problems worth solving
Most AI systems treat a person as an isolated user with a task to complete. But much of human life happens between people: through shifting roles, conflicting goals, shared norms, and informal structures. I want to understand those dynamics and build systems that support them without reducing a group to a single objective.
The research I want to do
I am interested in socially intelligent AI that can reason about people, relationships, and organizations. I combine computational modeling, multi-agent environments, interactive system building, and human-centered evaluation to study how intelligence behaves in real social contexts—and how it might help people create, collaborate, and make decisions together.
The life I want around the work
I do not want research to be separate from the rest of living. I want to keep making things, performing, learning from people outside my field, and participating in communities whose values cannot be captured by a benchmark. The work should make me more attentive to other people, not less; more willing to question what progress means, not merely faster at producing it.
A direction, not a conclusion
This is a living statement. The methods and projects will change, but I hope the central commitment remains: to pursue difficult questions with technical rigor, social imagination, and enough humility to let people complicate the answer.
