Research Intern - Interactive Multimodal Futures Group (Situated, Social & Ubiquitous Computing) is a research internship where interns collaborate with doctoral candidates and researchers to advance research and development. During this twelve-week internship, you will design and implement research prototypes for real-time situated and adaptive interaction. Your daily work involves exploring generative AI techniques to interpret multimodal interaction, conversation, and behavioral signals. You will conduct user studies, analyze multimodal data, and contribute to publications. Key technical requirements include experience with ML frameworks like PyTorch, computer vision, and real-time interactive systems. You will work with large datasets involving text, vision, and physiology, potentially using wearable devices. The role focuses on solving problems in human-computer interaction, human-robot interaction, and affective computing through human-centered design and research methods.

What you'll do

  • Design and implement research prototypes for real-time situated and adaptive interaction.
  • Explore generative AI techniques to interpret multimodal interaction, conversation, and behavioral signals.
  • Conduct user studies and analyze multimodal data.
  • Contribute to peer-reviewed publications and share findings with the research community.
  • Evaluate different personality styles for AI agents to study impacts on user experience and trust.
  • Prototype real-time conversational AI agents using tools like the OpenAI Realtime API.
  • Collect and process large datasets including text, vision, physiology, and behavioral data.

What we're looking for

  • Currently enrolled in a Doctorate degree program in HCI, HRI, Computer Science, Cognitive Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, Psychology, or a related STEM field.
  • 2+ years of research experience using human-centered approaches in HCI, HRI, ML, CV, Ubiquitous Computing, or Affective Computing.
  • Experience writing peer-reviewed publications.
  • Experience with generative AI techniques, ML frameworks like PyTorch, and real-time interactive systems.
  • Experience implementing research prototypes for frontend, backend, or both.
  • Experience conducting human-subjects research and using human-centered design and research methods.
  • Experience with reinforcement learning, time-series signal processing, or working with large datasets (text, vision, physiology, behavioral).
  • Experience collecting data with wearable devices or prototyping real-time conversational AI agents using tools like the OpenAI Realtime API (preferred).
