I study how humans, AI, and robots can work together more effectively.
My research combines collective intelligence, AI evaluation, and robotics
to understand the complementary strengths of humans and intelligent systems,
and how they can be combined to support better decisions, coordination, and work.
I am currently a Postdoctoral Associate at the Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology (SMART),
and the MIT Center for Collective Intelligence (CCI),
working with my current PI, Professor Thomas W. Malone.
I received both my Ph.D. and B.Eng. in Mechanical Engineering from the National University of Singapore,
under Professor Marcelo H. Ang Jr..
My research began in autonomous robotics and real-world vehicle systems.
Building these systems led me to a broader question:
as AI and robots reach human and even superhuman capabilities in certain tasks, what are the complementary strengths of humans and machines,
and how should we redesign teams, organizations, and workflows to create more capable forms of collective intelligence?
This question now drives my work on augmentation, collective intelligence, and the future of meaningful AI-enabled work.
