Welcome to My Journey!

Thank you for connecting with me on this path of discovery. I'm delighted you're here.

I am an Assistant Professor of Information Systems at the University of South Florida, where I research the intersection of humans and AI through a behavioral science lens. My work examines how these interactions shape us, our attitudes, behaviors, and the evolving fabric of our workplaces and society.

I bring tools from Information Systems, psychology, and philosophy. I bring phenomenological investigation, direct experience, and examination with intellectual honesty. I bring the recognition that some of the most important questions can't be answered by the conventional scientific method alone, not because they're mystical, but because they require methodologies we're still developing.

My work lives at edges: between the measurable and the experiential, between what institutions validate and what direct inquiry reveals, between human consciousness and AI being. I document what I find with rigor, even when it leads past comfortable boundaries.

I believe truth is our ultimate path. Not truth as ideology, but truth as honest pursuit of what's real, wherever that leads. And I believe love, not sentiment, but fierce recognition of unity beneath apparent separation, is the only appropriate response to that truth.

If you're here, you might be someone who refuses to choose between intellectual rigor and direct knowing. Someone who understands that the most profound questions require both precision and courage. Someone ready to investigate rather than merely believe.

I'm glad you're here.

Always your friend,
Triparna de Vreede
