whose work seeks to incorporate recent advances in generative large language models (LLMs). Specific research areas of interest include human-machine dialogue, human-AI alignment, trust (and over-trust) in AI, and the use of multimodal generative AI approaches
in conjunction with other tools and techniques (e.g., virtual and/or augmented reality) to accelerate learning in real-world task environments. Additional related projects underway at Kairos involve the integration of generative AI into interactive dashboards
for visualizing and interrogating social media narratives. The Human-Computer Interaction Researcher will play a significant role in supporting our growing body of work with DARPA, Special Operations Command, the Air Force Research Laboratory, and other federal
sponsors.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
