Profile

My research investigates the mechanisms that shape the behavior of LLM agents. More broadly, I am interested in how AI models influence human learning, reasoning, creativity, and social organization. I also help individuals and organizations navigate this transformation in practice through teaching and consultation.

Research interests — Role Design & System Prompts · AI in Education · Philosophy & Ethics of AI · Multi-Agent LLM Systems · Social Simulations · Governance & Economics of AI · Autonomy, Creativity & AI.

Research & Projects

Designing Roles for AI Agents (Master's Thesis)
An ontology for how normative roles shape LLM-agent behavior across multi-agent simulations, applied to 38 studies. Co-authored paper published by Springer Nature (WorldCist'26).
ReaLLM
A prototype exposing the hidden instructions that shape LLM behavior — testing interface-level transparency as a safety intervention. Accepted for workshop at CPDP 2026, Brussels.
Civic AI Debaters
A web study comparing single- vs. multi-agent setups to examine how model configuration shapes bias in civic learning.
Beijing Air Quality Predictor (ML)
Python time-series analysis (EDA, feature engineering, ML modeling) plus a forecasting web app deployed via Streamlit.
AI Academy
A prototype role-playing game for kids to interact with LLM agents in different roles and learn how prompts influence behavior.
