Ehsan Latif

AI Research Scientist

I am an AI Research Scientist focusing on LLMs, multi‑agent systems, and trustworthy AI. My work has been recognized with a Best Paper Nomination at AIED 2025, and published at top AI conferences such as NeurIPS, AAAI, AIED, IROS, and ICRA.

I co‑organized and chaired workshops/sessions at AIED 2024 and AIED 2025, and lead research across NSF/IES‑funded projects on automated scoring and AI‑augmented education. I train and deploy transformer models (BERT, GPT, LLaMA) and design multi‑robot/agent algorithms for coordination and localization—bridging fundamental research with real‑world impact.
