Senior🎓
Top SchoolPatrick Nalepka is a Lecturer and researcher specializing in user behavioral science, human-AI teaming, and social VR, with eight years of applied experience and a PhD in Experimental Psychology. He designs and evaluates AI-driven virtual humans, chatbots, and adaptive agents, blending motion-capture and eye-tracking with multidimensional time-series analytics to quantify individual and team coordination. Patrick combines hands-on software skills (C#, Python, MATLAB, Unity, PyTorch, ML-Agents) with rigorous experimental design and mixed-effects modeling to translate complex behavioural data into actionable educational and training interventions. His work has influenced government and higher-education stakeholders and earned early-career teaching awards for innovations like an AI-powered Virtual Peer for student support. Notably, he bridges disciplines—psychology, engineering, clinicians and computer scientists—to ship research systems that function in real-world training environments.
