Biography
- Interdisciplinary research postgraduate in Human-Robot Interaction (HRI), collaborating with Patric Bach's Action Prediction Lab and the Artificial Intelligence, Robotics and Mechatronic Systems Group (ARMS). Interested in designing better interactions with robots and other artificial agents by understanding how people perceive them.
- Currently investigating the role of multi-sensory integration in robot action perception and what behaviours we can give robots to allow people to take their perspective.
- Previous experience designing/prototyping wearable medical sensing devices.

Research Overview
My research investigates social cognition in Human-Robot Interaction. Specifically, I am exploring the human prediction of robot action using novel psychophysical tasks and consequential/supplementary robot sounds. Additionally, I am researching morphologies and non-verbal robot behaviours and that facilitate human visual perspective taking towards robots.
