Hi! My name is Itamar and I’m a first-year CS PhD student at Rice University. I am advised by Prof. Vaibhav Unhelkar as part of the Human-Centered AI and Robotics (HCAIR) Group, where I work on multimodal, interactive AI. Prior to Rice, I completed my undergrad at the University of Michigan and worked with Prof. Joyce Chai in the Situated Language and Embodied Dialogue (SLED) lab.
