About
I am a Senior Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in the Department of Industrial Engineering and Management of Ben Gurion University of the Negev. My research examines how people communicate and share their emotions with artificial agents, agents that communicate and reason using artificial intelligence, including social robots and chatbots. I study how these agents understand and interact more effectively with humans, and how these interactions influence social dynamics and emotional well-being. In my research, I am working on interactions and interventions that facilitate rich social interactions with human users to support their health in a variety of contexts. I was a research associate at the Department of Computer Science & Technology of the University of Cambridge. I was a member of the Affective Intelligence and Robotics Laboratory (AFAR) under the lead of Prof. Hatice Gunes. Before that, I pursued my PhD studies under the supervision of Prof. Emily S. Cross (University of Glasgow & ETH Z?rich) and Prof. Val Morrison (University of Bangor) at the Social Robots and Social Brain in Action labs at the Institute of Neuroscience and Psychology of the University of Glasgow. I was an ESR member of ENTWINE, the European Training Network on Informal Care, a Marie Sk?odowska-Curie Innovation Training Network (ITN) funded by the European Union.The University bears no responsibility for the content displayed on this page or on any other faculty members’ pages.
