I lead the Human-centered Robotics and AI group since September 2022. My group develops assistive robotic technologies and new paradigms to empower end users of AI technologies by exploring the interaction between robotics, participatory design, end-user programming, and interactive machine learning.

I obtained my my MSc. in Microengineering from EPFL, my PhD in human-robot interaction at the University of Plymouth, UK. Before joining Idiap, I was a cooperate researcher at ATR in Japan and a Research Associate at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in the USA in the People and Robots Lab.
