| Aug 15, 2024 | Started as a Postdoctoral Scholar with Stefanos Nikolaidis in the ICAROS lab at USC! 🤖 |
| Jul 17, 2024 | I’m excited to share that I have successfully defended my PhD thesis! A huge thank you to my committee members: Brad Hayes, Alessandro Roncone, Dan Szafir, and Sonia Chernova for their guidance and support throughout this journey. Thesis Title: Mediating Trust and Influence in Human-Robot Teams via Multimodal Communication and Explanation for Mental Model Alignment |
| Feb 7, 2024 | I won the People’s Choice Award at the 2024 CU Boulder Graduate School 3MT (Three Minute Thesis) competition, receiving the highest number of audience votes. |
| Jan 25, 2024 | Our new paper, titled “Recency Bias in Task Performance History Affects Perceptions of Robot Competence and Trustworthiness,” has been accepted at ICRA 2024. In this work, we explore how recency bias affects task performance history in human-robot interactions and propose approaches to mitigate its impact on user trust and perceptions of robot competence.

| Jan 7, 2024 | I have been selected as the 3MT (Three Minute Thesis) finalist for the 2024 CU Boulder Graduate School! I will be participating in the final round of the competition on February 7th, 2024. |
| Dec 14, 2023 | I have successfully defended my Phd thesis proposal and comprehensive exam on “Mediating Trust and Influence in Human-Robot Teams via Multimodal Communication and Explanation”! I am now a Phd candidate! |
| Dec 6, 2023 | I have been selected to participate in 2024 AAAI Doctoral Consortium! I will be presenting my work on “Autonomous Policy Explanations for Effective Human-Machine Teaming” at the conference in February 2024. |
| Nov 9, 2023 | I had a great opportunity to present my work on “Building Trust and Transparency in Human-Robot Teams through Explainable Multimodal Communication” at the talking robotics podcast. Check it out here! |
| Aug 28, 2023 | Co-organized a workshop on “Human-Robot Interaction for Explainability in Robotics” at International Conference on Robot and Human Interactive Communication (RO-MAN), 2023. |
| Jul 9, 2023 | Co-organized the “RSS Pioneer Workshop” as the program committee chair at Robotics: Science and System 2023. |
| Apr 22, 2023 | New paper accepted to RSS 2023, “Autonomous Justification for Enabling Explainable Decision Support in Human-Robot Teaming”, in which we explore the role of justification in human-robot collaboration, introduce a novel framework for appropriately timing explanations, and evaluate different types of justifications to enhance user trust and decision-making in teaming scenarios. |
| Apr 6, 2023 | Received an award for poster presentation at the Annual Research Expo ‘23 from the CU Boulder computer science department for our work on appropriately timing explanations to enhance user trust and decision-making in human-robot teaming scenarios. |
| Apr 4, 2023 | Our work, which explores trust between humans and robots using augmented reality, was featured in CU Boulder’s Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month for the “Creating the Future” section |
| Mar 26, 2023 | I received the AAMAS Student Scholarship 2023 |
| Mar 7, 2023 | I have been selected for the AAMAS Doctoral Consortium 2023 |
| May 16, 2022 | I was named a Robotics: Science and System Pioneer! |
