About me

I study how humans think, and build machines that can learn from it. My work sits at the crossroads of cognitive science, AI, and interactive systems, from dendritic computing models to immersive VR experiments. I’m passionate about transforming research ideas into working technologies, leading interdisciplinary teams, and developing systems that make human–machine interaction more adaptive, intelligent, and human-centered.
