Personal profile
Research
I obtained my PhD in Developmental Psychology at the University of Portsmouth (UK) within the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Action project TESIS (Towards an Embodied Science of Intersubjectivity). My researcher mainly focuses on the development of social cognition in daily routine interactions as a participatory sense-making process, and particularly how socio-cultural practices and contexts (e.g. outdoor) shape social learning experiences. My methods span from quantitative to observational and ethnographic.
I'm the PI of the Wallenberg AI-Humanities and Society (WASP-HS) project: Situated and embodied approaches to human-robots interactions. The project aims to adopt a multidisciplinary analytical approach to study the interactional dynamics between humans and social robots, e.g. how they can develop fine-grained skills for joint action and sharing of meanings, e.g. by reciprocally expressing and perceiving emotions, or establishing and maintaining behavioural attunement.
