Steph Buongiorno, PhD, is a postdoctoral research fellow at Southern Methodist University, Guildhall. Buongiorno engages in transdisciplinary, computational research for the purpose of innovative and holistic problem-solving. Her work involves combining multiple disciplines to generate new knowledge beyond the boundaries of individual fields. At Guildhall, Buongiorno focuses on two main areas of research that aim to address large-scale problems. Her primary area of research uses human computation gaming to develop tools for fighting human trafficking using human-in-the-loop machine learning techniques. The second area of research revolves around the development of an autonomous agent system driven by large language models (LLMs)--a system that can be used to support research, automation, and a multitude of other activities.
