Summary
Ngoc Nguyen is an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at the University of Dayton and director of the Computation and Decision-Making Lab, blending experimental cognitive science with machine learning to improve human–AI collaboration and decision support. With a decade of experience spanning academia in the US and Europe—including a postdoc at Carnegie Mellon and a Ph.D. from the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano—she designs adaptive user models, LLM-powered advisory systems, and multiagent frameworks grounded in social psychology. Her work is NSF-funded (CRII, STTR Phase I) and emphasizes practical AI-assisted decision-making that enhances real human performance rather than replacing it. Known for bridging rigorous experiments with deployable computational models, she brings an interdisciplinary approach that yields both theoretical insight and applied systems.
