Research Areas

The Applied Machine Learning and Intelligence (AMLI) Lab conducts interdisciplinary research that advances trustworthy, explainable, and responsible artificial intelligence for real-world applications. Our work combines fundamental AI research with practical solutions that address societal challenges in healthcare, cybersecurity, intelligent systems, and organizational decision-making.

The lab collaborates with academic institutions, healthcare organizations, government agencies, and industry partners to develop innovative AI technologies while providing undergraduate and graduate students with hands-on research experiences.

We develop AI systems that are transparent, explainable, reliable, fair, and accountable. Our research investigates methods that improve trust in AI-assisted decision-making and support the responsible deployment of AI technologies across critical domains.

Representative topics include:

  • Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) 
  • Trustworthy and Responsible AI 
  • Human-AI Collaboration 
  • AI Governance and Responsible AI 
  • AI Transparency and Accountability 
  • AI Evaluation and Validation

Our research explores the next generation of intelligent AI systems, including large language models, generative AI, and emerging agentic AI. We investigate how these technologies can safely augment human expertise while maintaining reliability, transparency, and organizational trust.
