About Me

I am a PhD candidate at the University of Amsterdam (UvA), supervised by Prof. Dr. Jos A.Bosch, Ass. Prof Dr. Abdallah El Ali, and Ass. Prof Dr. Jan de Wit. Prior to that, I received my BSc in Mathematics from Xidian University and MSc in Computer Science from Heidelberg University under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Artur Andrzejak.

My research is about NLG/LLMs and human-computer interaction, with a focus on the trustworthiness, controllability, and explainability of generative AI in applications such as psychotherapy, health intervention, and emotional companionship.

My Research

I am a researcher specializing in AI and human-computer interaction, focusing on the trustworthiness, controllability, and explainability of generative AI in applications such as psychotherapy, health intervention, and emotional companionship.

With a background spanning mathematics, computer science, and experimental psychology, my work integrates generative AI, NLP, HCI, and multimodal user interfaces to enhance user trust and interaction quality in sensitive scenarios.

Moving forward, I am interested in advancing multimodal interfaces or embodied intelligence and generative AI by developing adaptive models that integrate human cognition and emotions, delivering innovative and impactful solutions for health, learning, and psychotherapy.
