4. Human-Agent Interaction (New 2026 NRF Project)

We received a 5-year research grant from NRF in 2026, in which we will develop a novel interaction framework for Human-Agent Interaction.
Human AI interaction is rapidly evolving from LLM-based applications to Agent-based ecosystems.
We explore how human and agents can collaborate to create a better future.
Main research topics include:
- Design of Tangible Agent interfaces and interaction
- Embodied Human-Agent Interaction
- Enhancing UI/UX of Human-Agent Interaction for Web, Mobile, XR environments
- Multi-User Multi-Agent Interaction
- … and your ideas!
