About Me
My research explores Human–Agent Interaction in XR, focusing on a future in which people create AI agents that represent and communicate on their behalf in immersive environments. I develop new communication frameworks for these human-representative agents, particularly in mediated and asynchronous interactions where users may not be physically present or available in real time. Ultimately, I aim to contribute to future communication technologies that are more personalized, accessible, and socially effective, while ensuring that users retain agency and trust in how they are represented.

Theme: Designing human-centered communication between people and their representative agents in XR.
My research lies at the intersection of human–computer interaction, XR, and social AI. I investigate how human-representative agents can convey users’ identities, intentions, emotions, and communication styles while adapting to different social contexts.
- Human-representative agents: Exploring how avatars and AI agents can represent and communicate on behalf of people.
- Agent-mediated communication: Developing new frameworks for mediated and asynchronous interaction across time and space.
- Adaptive social behavior: Designing personalized and context-aware verbal and nonverbal agent behaviors.
- Human-centered evaluation: Examining social presence, identity, agency, authenticity, and trust through mixed-method user studies.
