Hej! I'm currently a postdoc fellow at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Division of Robotics, Perception and Learning. Under the supervision of Prof. Danica Kragic.
Previously: Ph.D. at Chalmers University of Technology. Marie Curie Early Stage Researcher (MSCA Horizon 2020 ITN) at TOMOCON. Supervisor: Prof. Morten Fjeld.
My current research interests: human-robot interaction with human-centered design, interactive AI, VR/AR/MR, and human perception.
My previous research interest (during Ph.D.) was human-centered design for the support of interactive visualization towards industrial process tomography by using AR/MR.
Current affiliation: KTH, Sweden.
Previous affiliation: t2i lab, Sweden.
