I am currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science, The University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB). Prior to joining UAB, I was a member of the Sensor Fusion Lab headed by Professor Pramod K. Varshney at Syracuse University. I work on the broad ranges of statistical signal processing and machine learning. My current research is focused on decision making in human and machine inference networks (HMIN). We aim to illustrate the fundamental concerns such as uncertainties, cognitive biases in human decision making and to reveal the significant differences between decision fusion involving human participants and information fusion with only physics-based sensors. These efforts advocate the strategic interdisciplinary activities: artificial intelligence, autonomous systems, behavioral psychology, and the human-technology frontier.
