I am a Robopsychologist under training.
At the moment I am a Research Fellow at the Human-Robot Interaction group, School of Electrical and Computer Systems Engineering, and the Institute of Human-Centred Computing, Monash University, working with Prof. Dana Kulić and Prof. Sharon Oviatt.

Research Interests

My research interests include affective computing, human-robot interaction, human-centred AI, multimodal emotion recognition, multimodal behavioural analytics, digital health, and dialogue systems. My research focuses on adopting interdisciplinary knowledge to develop interactive systems that incorporate social-emotional intelligence, in particular, social robots. I also work on human-centred AI in the healthcare context.
