Research Intern
February 2021 – July 2021 Amsterdam, the Netherlands
This was a remote internship due to COVID-19. During this period, I worked on improving the engagingness of the Replika chatbot. It was a great experience to get my hands on a chatbot system that have real users (as opposed to a common lab environment of my daily research).
 
 
 
 
 
Applied Science Intern
