Research Interests

My research focuses on conversational agents to assess and treat mental disorders. During my PhD, I will design a conversational agent to treat depression in youth and young adults.

Research Areas:

  • Conversational Agents/Chatbots: Rule-based, Retrieval-Based and Generative Approaches
  • Personalizing Digital Mental Health Interventions
  • Measuring and Modeling Mental Disorders
  • Wearable and Smartphone-Based Passive Sensing for Mental Health Monitoring

If you are interested, don't hesitate to get in touch!
