- I’m excited to share some recent progress in my research at February HART TG
Monthly Memebr Conversations
I’ll be sharing my review work on GenAI techniques in Autonomous Driving HCIs through the lens of Situation Awareness (SA). This is such a rapidly evolving and fascinating area, and I hope my perspective can contribute some useful insights to the ongoing conversations. I’m sure there are important aspects I haven’t fully captured or considered. I’d love to hear your thoughts, questions, and different perspectives during and after the talk! Your feedback and insights would be incredibly valuable in helping me, and all of us, better understand these emerging technologies and their human-centered applications. Looking forward to a great discussion with everyone!🚗🤖

I’m thrilled to be part of a group dedicated to advancing human-AI collaboration and understanding how we can achieve better outcomes together than either humans or machines can alone. I look forward to this exciting new chapter in my academic journey.🚀 (Chinese cuisines here in Atlanta are amazing as these team fellows 😆)
