Our vision is to pioneer human-centered computational models, algorithms, and immersive technologies that transform how people and intelligent machines work together. Rather than designing systems that replace humans, we create AI, robotics, and XR systems that amplify human cognitive, physical, and social capabilities. We define “human” broadly, spanning stakeholders across the product and service lifecycle: designers imagining new solutions, industrial workers collaborating with robots, and operators making complex, high-stakes decisions. Across these contexts, our research advances human–AI–robot teaming, cognitive and skill augmentation, and extended embodiment through XR. Our mission is to reimagine the future of work and human experience by developing intelligent systems that are adaptive, transparent, resilient, and grounded in human agency. We aim to create technologies that respond to human needs, preserve human agency, and expand what people can achieve beyond the limits of automation or human effort alone.

Our Research

Skill Augmentation & Workforce Training

We accelerate how people master complex, hands-on work. Our systems act as adaptive tutors that sense how a learner is progressing and deliver personalized guidance in the moment, so expertise is faster to build and easier to retain.

Human-Robot Collaboration

We turn collaborative robots into capable, trustworthy teammates. Our research helps people and robots communicate intent, coordinate safely, and build the mutual understanding that real teamwork depends on.

Engineering Design & Decision-Making

We strengthen how people create and decide. Our work augments designers' creativity, empathy, and reasoning as they envision new solutions, and helps people make clearer, more confident decisions in complex, high-stakes settings.
