I am a research fellow in the Adaptive Systems Research Group at the University of Hertfordshire where I was involved in different projects. As part of the iTalk project I conducted research to examine mechanisms of natural language aquisition, and investigated human mutual gaze and turn taking behaviour in conversations in order to help to design more natural looking robot gaze behaviours for human-robot interaction with Dr. Frank Broz. I was also involved in the AURORA project and the IROMEC project conducting experiments on the effects of human-robot interaction on children with autism and other cognitive disabilities. At the moment I am working in the ACCOMPANY project. The goal of this project is develop robotic home companions to help elderly people to maintain an independent life style in their homes.

Before starting my work with robots at Science and Technology Research Center at the University of Hertfordshire I wrote my Master thesis in Psychology at the Max-Planck-Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology with Prof. Micheal Tomasello, and a PhD in Computer Science at the University of Bath with Dr. Joanna Bryson. My main fields of interests are the evolution of social behavior, social cognition and culture, intelligence and consciousness, artificial intelligence and robotics, human-robot interaction, self-organization and cybernetics. Recently I became increasingly interested in the works of Francesco Varela and Heinz von Foerster.
