Research & Practice

My research explores how humans interpret and respond to intelligent systems (AI, robots, spatial agents, conversational interfaces) through the lens of embodied interaction, conversation analysis, and drawing principles from cinema, animation, and dance to decode interaction patterns.


Research Themes

Questions and domains the studio investigates

Interpreting Robot Intentions

How do people read meaning into robot actions, gestures, and timing? How do these interpretations shape trust, cooperation, and everyday use?

Embodied Interaction in Learning, Care & Collaboration

How do physical presence, movement, and spatial coordination matter in collaborative tasks with robots and emerging tech among educational and therapeutic settings, particularly for sensitive contexts?

Trust Through Conversation Patterns

How turn-taking, repair, silence, and small breakdowns in human-AI/ human-robot dialogue influence trust, comfort, and long-term engagement?

Technology, Creativity & Healing

How HCI and HRI intersect with art, self-expression, and personal rituals as ways of coping, making meaning, and supporting emotional wellbeing?

Selected Projects

Previous academic work in Human-computer interaction and Human-robot interaction research

ACADEMIC RESEARCH PROJECT

Human-Robot Interaction Interface Modes in Collaborative Tasks

Investigation of human-robot interaction interface modes applying standardized scales for usability and social acceptance, user experience, and perceived trust, using established HRI measures such as the USUS framework and Godspeed questionnaire scales.

ACADEMIC RESEARCH PROJECT

Smart Violin Multimodal Interaction

Experimented with sensor-augmented violin to capture playing patterns, gestures, and technique in real-time. Explored how multimodal feedback can lead to design of smart sensor augmented musical tools for practice.

ACADEMIC RESEARCH PROJECT

Design Ethnography Studies

Study integrating multimodal analysis and ethnographic observation of cooking and other collaborative activities, tracing how people coordinate through bodies, objects, and talk to get things done, and what this means for designing future interactive systems.
