I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. My particular niche is advocating for children's rights in interactions with embodied AI devices such as Internet-connected toys and social robots.
Working with children has always been one of the most fulfilling roles I have had: starting as an older sister, then as a babysitter, a counselor, a mentor, a teacher and a researcher. I am committed to researching and advancing our understanding of children's interactions with technology, with an emphasis on emergent technologies that have potential for revolutionizing social interaction. I believe that we should use child-centered design and interdisciplinary approaches to understand the complexities of socialization, social-emotional intelligence, and communication as it pertains to child-technology interactions.
