Hello, I'm Reza.

I am passionate about designing trustworthy and effective interaction techniques for Human-AI collaboration. I am an Assistant Teaching Professor at Drexel University College of Computing and Informatics (CCI), teaching both undergraduate and graduate level courses. I am also an AI Scientist at TulipAI, leading teams of young students, pushing the mission of empowering media creators through ethical and responsible use of Generative AI.

I received my PhD in Computer Science from Drexel CCI. My PhD dissertation focused on how humans build trust toward Embodied Virtual Agents (EVAs). I have collaborated with MIT Media Lab, CMU HCII, Harvard University, and UCSD, publishing and presenting in venues such as Springer Nature, ACM CHI, and ACM C&C. I have been recognized as an Outstanding Reviewer by ACM ICMI 2019 and ACM CHI 2021. My work has been featured by multiple news outlets including The Next Web, TechXplore, and CBS News.

I am looking forward to making AI more trustworthy for humans. I believe that AI has the potential to be a powerful tool for good, but only if it is used in a responsible and ethical way. I am committed to using my skills to design interactions with AI systems that are transparent and fair. I believe that by helping humans and AI build more trustworthy interactions, we can ensure that AI is used for the benefit of all.
