Why did you choose Lund University?
Lund University is the top-ranked Nordic institution in QS 2026, and an innovation hub with a history of developing many transformative technologies, such as Bluetooth and Qlik visualization software, turning research into real-world impact.
The university’s mission is to understand, explain, and improve our world and the human condition. This vision closely aligns with my own research goal.
Can you briefly describe your current research?
I am a human-computer interaction researcher. My research focuses on how AI can better understand humans, with the ultimate goal of aligning AI to humans.
I investigate how people interact with computers and, more recently, with AI. I build models to simulate human behaviors during these interactions.
Additionally, I build user interfaces and visualizations that assist human-AI alignment.
What will be your main research focus during your time at Lund University?
At Lund University, I will continue my research on human-AI interaction.
The main question I want to answer is: how can we design AI systems that truly understand and cooperate with humans?
My research will focus on understanding humans, explaining human behavior, and designing user interfaces and visualizations that can improve the human experience with AI.
