My re- #introduction: I'm a prof at #NortheasternUniversity, with a joint appointment in #philosophy and #CS

I'm part of a multi-disciplinary team (https://cssh.northeastern.edu/ethics/ai-data-ethics-initiative/) focused on researching and teaching the #ethics of #EmergingTech, especially #SocialRobots, #DataEthics, and the highly misleadingly named #AIEthics, to humanists, STEM students, and external groups.

I'm also a #bicycling enthusiast and participant in groups dedicated to bicycle advocacy and #CompleteStreets.

While LLMs are very good at many tasks, we need to be careful when extending its applications into areas such as understanding scientific papers.

Relying on such tools will not only lead to incorrect/ incomplete interpretations, but may have serious repercussions in scientific discourse if used blindly

Hello! 👋 I am a PhD fellow working at Furhat Robotics, Stockholm.

My research is on modelling & automating conversational non-verbal behaviors on Social Robots and studying their effects on HRI.

I am specifically looking into gaze behaviors now. We recently published a study on automating conversational gaze behaviour of social robots: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/9900740

I would love to connect with researchers working in the field of #SocialRobots #HRI 🤖🤖🤖
