Hi, I'm Reza. I'm currently a postdoctoral research fellow in the Human-Computer Interaction Games Group (HCIGG) at the University of Waterloo, where I have the great privilege of working with Prof. Lennart Nacke. Before this, I completed my Ph.D. in Computer Science and Engineering at HKUST, co-advised by Prof. Pan Hui and Prof. Xiaojuan Ma.

I'm a researcher in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), and I'm especially interested in how people interact with intelligent systems. I study how we can design these systems to support authentic, ethical, and inclusive experiences. My current work focuses on human-centered AI, with a particular focus on trust, transparency, and adaptive interaction. My research at Waterloo is generously funded by the Lupina Foundation.

I'm always up for thoughtful conversations and enjoy connecting with others who are passionate about similar topics. If you're interested in my work and want to explore a potential collaboration, I’d love to hear from you. Let me know which project or idea caught your attention. You can reach me at rhadimog [AT] uwaterloo [DOT] ca.
