INSTAR RESEARCH PORTFOLIO
Cognitive AI & Persona Systems — INSTAR Lab
INSTAR Lab investigates language, cognition, model behavior, and human-aligned AI systems through computational modeling and careful evaluation.

What a sponsor should be able to evaluate.
Make the cognitive-AI research problem reviewable through its mechanisms, evaluation requirements, limits, and collaboration path.
INSTAR states the question, the method, the evidence, the limitations, and the next decision so a researcher, program officer, or contracting team can assess fit.
Research setting / Labs
What the work must explain.
A concrete instrument, dataset, or domain gives the research question a testable setting.
Make the cognitive-AI research problem reviewable through its mechanisms, evaluation requirements, limits, and collaboration path.
Evidence / Cognitive AI & Persona Systems
Make the research reviewable.
A credible program states the question, method, evidence, and limit together.
