Research
My research interests include Human-Computer Interaction, Human-Robot Interaction, and video games. My master's thesis explored the effects of gender 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.
