About
Background
I am a Software Engineer at ExaWizards Inc. and a PhD student at Shizuoka University, where I am part of the Cognitive Communication Laboratory. I also work with Nori Jacoby at the CoCoCo Lab, Cornell University, on human–AI collective creativity.
My research focuses on the cognitive science underlying human decision-making and mental representations, and how such representations emerge through social interaction. I am particularly interested in human–AI interaction, and in how collective creativity emerges when people and AI agents shape each other within hybrid societies.
