Research Interests
I am head of the Adaptive Digital Media (ADAM) Lab at Georgia Tech. My research explores artificial intelligence approaches to story management, synthetic characters, and logical representations of story for interactive narratives. My current work is focused on four separate domains: 1) the use of interactive narrative for training and education, 2) intelligent director agents and coordination with synthetic characters, 3) story representation and authoring tools, and 4) the study of real-world interactive drama and improvisation techniques. My interests include: adaptive digital media, interactive narrative, improvisation, virtual ecosystems, serious game design, and cognitive science.
