I am an Assistant Professor at the MIT Media Lab and MIT EECS, where I direct the Multisensory Intelligence research group. Our group develops the foundations of multisensory and compounding intelligence to advance human capabilities and well-being.
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.
I'm also happy to collaborate and answer questions about my research and MIT programs, I especially encourage students from underrepresented groups to reach out.
Our group develops the foundations of multisensory and compounding AI to advance the human experience, through three thrusts:
(1) Foundations of multisensory intelligence: Inventing AI systems that learn, reason, and interact with the world by integrating diverse sensory channels.
(2) Foundations of compounding intelligence: Developing AI systems that recursively evolve their own capabilities through experience and feedback over extended interaction horizons.
(3) Enhancing human experiences: Designing intelligent systems that augment human capabilities, enrich human experiences, and advance overall well-being.
