Research Interests
My research program is on human-centered multimodal machine intelligence and applications for speech-based interfaces . My current research includes the broad areas of affective computing, multimodal human-machine interfaces, nonverbal behaviors for conversational agents, in-vehicle active safety systems, and machine learning methods for multimodal processing. The outcomes of my research program have direct implications in many practical domains, including national security, health care, entertainment, transportation systems, and education.
