I have been researching innovative ways to enhance human-robot interaction. Humans can understand natural language, typically consisting of fuzzy elements; on the other hand, computer systems can comprehend only numerical representations. Nowadays, our world is becoming more digital, with people interacting with digital systems increasing day by day. I aim to bridge the gap between humans and robots, making interactions more empathetic, caring, intuitive, and proactive.
My research interests include:
Human-robot social interaction
Interaction design
User-centered design
Proactive interaction
Long-term conversational systems

I recently studied about the uncertainties in user behavior in a text-based conversational system. Here is an interactive presentation of what I realized to be important before researching about uncertainites that can be in a user behavior.
