Personal profile
Research areas
My research focuses on trust in human–robot interaction, particularly how transparency, explainability, and communication shape appropriate reliance on autonomous systems. I combine experimental and qualitative approaches to investigate how users form, calibrate, and repair trust in robots and AI-driven technologies.
Research Interests
- Trust calibration in human–automation interaction
- Transparency, explainability, and uncertainty in robotics and AI
- Communication and social cues in human–robot interaction
- Usability, user experience, and overtrust in automation
- Human factors in emerging technologies
Current Projects
- MOZART: Exploring usability and trust in industrial human–robot interaction.
- IT-Vest: Mapping digital competences literacy for higher education and employability.
