    {
      \begin{cvitems}
        \item Lead research and development of novel AI and machine learning methods for consumer demand forecasting, employing GAN   and VAE architectures. Demonstrate improved forecasting accuracy for innovative products under high uncertainty, impacting \$MM business decision making.
        \item Leverage theory- and data-driven approaches to design new methods for consumer preference elicitation and test at scale; model behavioral and physiological preference data jointly with text responses to develop new, transformer-based natural language processing methods for analyzing sparse consumer language.  
        \item Conduct frontier human-centered AI research using LLM, VLM, and diffusion models to develop psychological guidance methods for generative AI. Architect human-aligned AI intervention generation system driven by psychology and neuroscience. Test causal impact of generative AI interventions on human creativity and decision making.
        \item Lead large, multi-site projects with cross-functional teams comprising 5-15 people. Define project scope, objectives, and deliverables; manage budgets and maintain alignment with business goals to ensure project success; proactively identify risks and develop mitigation strategies. 
        \item Communicate research results to diverse industry and academic stakeholders. Generate patentable IP; publish scientific articles in top-tier journals and conferences. \textit{Ad hoc} reviewer for scientific journals.
