Jiayuan Dong
Jiayuan Dong
Jiayuan Dong is a Ph.D. candidate majoring in Industrial and Systems Engineering with a concentration in human factors at Virginia Tech. She is also a graduate research assistant in the Mind Music Machine Lab at Virginia Tech.
Her research projects focus on emotions and trust in human-computer interaction (HCI) and human-robot interaction (HRI). She has various experiences with different kinds of social robots, especially using them as educational tools for STEAM (STEM + Art) education and intelligent agents in automated driving and other dynamic environments
Connor Esterwood
Connor Esterwood
Connor Esterwood is a Ph.D. candidate at the School of Information at the University of Michigan.
His research investigates the capacity of robots to repair and restore trust in the aftermath of trust violations. His research aims to expand on existing theories of trust repair by investigating the underlying mechanisms that contribute to successful trust repair between humans and robots. Ultimately, his goal is to enable robots to successfully rebuild trust with humans, thereby improving the overall interaction quality between humans and machines.
Xin Ye
Xin Ye
Xin Ye is a first-year Ph.D. student in the School of Information at the University of Michigan.
Her research interests center around human-robot interaction, autonomous vehicles, and trust. She has recently published a conference paper on the impact of anthropomorphism in security robots on trust.
Jennifer Mitchell
