I’m a PhD candidate working in social robotics. I have a background in human-computer interaction that allows me to combine my passions for cognitive psychology and data science. My research focuses on creating data-driven solutions to improve the way humans interact with technology. I’m currently exploring how biosignals can help robots and other technologies can better understand and recognize human affective states. I am particularly interested in anxiety. Ultimately, the goal is to develop systems that respond naturally to human needs, improving their well-being.

My PhD work is conducted in partnership with the Honda Research Institute in Japan (https://www.jp.honda-ri.com/en/).
