Hello! I’m an Assistant Professor at the Department of Computer Science at the National University of Singapore, where I direct the Collaborative Learning and Adaptive Robots (CLeAR) group.
My research interests are in broadly in human-AI/robot interaction, machine learning, and robotics. I’m particularly interested in developing trustworthy collaborative robots. On this research journey, we’re building some fundamental building blocks, including computational trust models, methods for encoding prior knowledge or constraints into expressive (deep) models, and touch/tactile learning for physical interaction.
