Conference Talks & Presentations

2025

Presented at the Society for Neuroscience Annual Meeting 2025 (San Diego, CA), showcasing emotion-aware AI and neurocomputational models for mental health.
CPA 1st Annual Satellite Conference on AI in Psychology
The University of British Columbia | Nov 2025
Presented two key projects:

1D-ConvBiLSTMNet Model for Autism and Action Detection (with Dr. Abdul Bais, University of Regina)

Discussed a model for detecting Autism and recognizing human actions using skeletal data alone—no faces, voices, or raw video. The goal is early, objective screening while ensuring privacy.
Emotion-Aware Generative AI for CBT (with AWE Digital Wellness Team: Christian Dominique, Arunima Roy, Sujata Yumnam Sinha, PhD)

Showcased a system that detects emotional states in clients, responds in a CBT-inspired way, and flags potential crisis moments, enhancing clinician tools without replacing therapists.
