I am an Assistant Professor at the MIT Media Lab and MIT EECS, where I direct the Multisensory Intelligence research group. In summer 2024, I was a visiting researcher in the AI, psychology, and neuroscience program at UC Berkeley's Simons Institute for the Theory of Computing. Previously, I received my Ph.D. from the Machine Learning Department at Carnegie Mellon University, advised by Louis-Philippe Morency and Ruslan Salakhutdinov. Prospective students: I am hiring at all levels (post-docs, PhDs, masters, undergrads, and visitors). If you want to join MIT as a graduate student, please apply through the programs in Media Arts & Sciences, EECS,
or IDSS, and mention my name in your application. |

Our group studies the foundations of multisensory AI and its impact on the human experience, through three complementary thrusts: (1) Foundations of multisensory AI: The science and engineering of AI systems that can learn and interact with the world through integrating diverse sensory channels. (2) Enhancing human experiences: Designing interactive AI technologies to augment human capabilities and improve overall well-being. (3) Real-world human-AI interaction: Quantifying and mitigating real-world societal concerns for responsible deployment. | |
