I am a PhD student under the Human-Centered Computing program in Georgia Institute of Technology. My research interests include Interactive Game characters and Interactive Narrative. Before joining Georgia Tech, I worked on a project that demonstrated natural, fun and experientially rich communication between humans (esp. children and adolescent) and embodied historical and literary characters from the fairy tale universe of Hans Christian Andersen. Currently, I am working on developing a Wiki Environment for Authoring Virtual Characters using second life as the virtual world. I am also involved in creating AI techniques for easing the authoring process for Real Time Strategy game Wargus. I am looking into things including Programming by demonstration and Introspection to find faults in resulting AI performance and improving its behavior.
