About Me
Hi! I'm Matt, an Information Science PhD candidate at Drexel University in Philadelphia. I design conversational user interfaces (CUIs) that foster meaningful, trusting interactions between humans and AI. My research focuses on how we can use CUIs to support reflection, connection, and mental wellbeing—making everyday interactions with AI more human-centered and genuinely helpful.
If you’re as curious about the future of AI, mental health, and meaningful communication as I am, let’s talk—there’s always more to explore together!
