      Researcher

      • Spearheaded a pioneering research project on developing a social robot for older adults, anchored in the concept of Ikigai, with Toyota Research Institute. This involved conceptualizing the project, engaging in rigorous design thinking, and executing comprehensive user studies.• Innovatively utilized cutting-edge Large Language Models (LLMs), including GPT-3.5, to implement advanced human-robot interaction mechanisms. This initiative enhanced the robot’s conversational abilities and user satisfaction, as evidenced by detailed user feedback analysis.• Intricately analyzed extensive target user interview data, discovering the personalized models ultimately developed to increase engagement and satisfaction within the same focus group measurably using quantitative and psychometric methods.
