Academic Achievements

Published papers in conferences such as HRI'21, HRI'19, ICMI'22, IROS'19, ASSETS'21 LBR, ASSETS'19, RO-MAN'18, HRI'20 LBR. Participated in various research projects, including exploring how people anthropomorphize robots they've never met and how robots can induce bystander intervention when being physically abused.

Research Experience

Previously a Postdoctoral Fellow as part of the NSF AI Institute for Collaborative Assistance and Responsive Interaction for Networked Groups (AI-CARING) at Georgia Institute of Technology. Research areas include: sequential human interaction with multiple-robots, assistive navigation robots in complex indoor spaces, leveraging other intelligent systems in human-robot interaction, and designing longitudinal assistive robots.

Education

Ph.D. in Robotics from Carnegie Mellon University (Dec 2021); B.S. in Computer Sciences from the University of Wisconsin-Madison (2015).

Background

He is an Assistant Professor at the Khoury College of Computer Sciences at Northeastern University, working on Human-Robot Interaction. His research explores how autonomous robotic systems can collaborate with multiple robots and other embodied systems to provide assistance to diverse users. They use an interdisciplinary and iterative approach to develop heterogeneous robotic systems that work together to complete tasks that neither robot could complete by itself.
