Research areas

My primary interest lies in the intersection of technology and education. I explore how innovative technologies, including telepresence and social robots, can enhance educational experiences and interaction dynamics. I also explore people’s challenges and pain points when interacting with new technology and develop creative, user-centric solutions to support them in adopting these technologies effectively.

My work also includes exploring the role of persuasive technology in behavior change, especially in contexts like sustainable technology adoption. I aim to contribute to the development of sustainable solutions that facilitate the adoption of green technology such as organic solar cells.

I also have a background in user experience (UX) and interface (UI) research. I collect user data through co-design sessions and usability tests to develop user-friendly prototypes and improve the overall user experience.
