Ehsan Latif
AI Research Scientist
I build AI systems that reason, collaborate, and make meaningful impact. As an AI Research Scientist, I explore how LLMs, multi-agent intelligence, and trustworthy AI can move from strong benchmarks to real-world outcomes in education and robotics.
My current work explores reliable agentic workflows, AI-augmented assessment, and human-centered evaluation of next-generation models. Across NSF/IES-funded projects, I train and deploy transformer models (BERT, GPT, LLaMA), design coordination and localization algorithms, and study how intelligent systems can support learning at scale.
My research has been recognized at AIED, NeurIPS, AAAI, IROS, and ICRA. If you are interested in collaborative research on trustworthy LLMs, AI for education, or multi-agent systems, I would love to connect and build together.
