I design interactive agent systems that let people and AI coordinate effectively on complex web tasks.
Representative work: CowPilot, PlowPilot
I study how agents can model user preferences, interaction styles, and partial human input to become better collaborators.
Representative work: NoTeeline, CowPilot, PlowPilot
I investigate how AI mediation reshapes group structure, information sharing, and decision quality in opinion-diverse teams.
Representative work: AI-Mediated Communication Reshapes Social Structure in Opinion-Diverse Groups
I build AI interfaces that support real-world tasks such as note-taking, information retrieval, and adaptive assistance.
