Research Statement:
My research program aims to use techniques from artificial
intelligence to amplify human ability. I model and capture
the dynamics of human behavior and their relationships using machine
learning, computer vision, and network sciences, and design
interactive systems to promote equity and access in
health care and education.
Real-world impact: Our research in 2012 resulted in a
patent
introducing the idea of a computer being a conversation coach.
Building on this patent, Microsoft
released 'Speaker
Coach' now available in PowerPoint.
