Greetings! I’m Bruce, a Ph.D. student at the UCLA HCI lab advised by Professor Xiang ‘Anthony’ Chen.
I’m a human-AI researcher exploring the future forms of LLMs and AI agents beyond a turn-based chatbot. For example, systems where users can steer AI’s thoughts mid-conversation (ThinkaloudLM), agents that proactively engage in group conversations by modeling intrinsic motivation (Inner Thoughts), and multimodal agents that adapts to and stays in sync with real-world constraints (Human I/O).
My work has been recognized and supported by an Amazon Ph.D. Fellowship, an ACM UIST Best Paper Award 🏆, two ACM CHI Best Paper Honorable Mentions 🏅, an ED Rice Outstanding Master Student Award 🎓 , and a Distinguished Master’s Thesis Research Award 🎓 at UCLA. I also held research internships at Google, Meta Reality Labs and Snap Research.
