About Me
Hi! It's Friendly neighborhood Matt here, an Information Science PhD Student at Drexel University in Philadelphia. I focus on designing conversational user interfaces (CUI) that build meaningful, trusting interactions between humans and AI. With a background in AI and a passion for blending technology with the arts, I aim to make conversations with machines as natural, engaging, and impactful as those we have with each other. I believe that meaningful conversations—whether with people or AI—are key to fostering trust, understanding, and connection.
If you’re as passionate about the future of AI and communication as I am, feel free to reach out—there’s always more to explore together!
