Research

My research interests include Human-Computer Interaction, Human-Robot Interaction, and video games.

My master's thesis explores the effects of gender and gender-based stereotyping in interactions with a voice agent running coach. My undergraduate research investigated how neurotic robot personalities and fictional robot backstories can be used in interactions with social robots. I have also contributed to research on the use of Capability Sensitive Design to improve well-being during a life transition.
