Research Interests:

My core research interests are the computational modeling of human emotion, cognition,

behavior and social interaction. This includes the validation of these models, their use as a

methodology in the study of human behavior as well as their use in a range of applications.

Specifically, the models have been employed in the design of virtual humans, social simulations,

interactive narratives, health interventions and social skills training.
