Me.
I'm a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the Social AI & Robotics Laboratory
at King's College London. I primarily work on movement and gesture
generation in connection to socially aware robotic
applications within the Socially-acceptable Extended Reality Models And Systems (SERMAS) project .
My work on socially aware navigation has been
recognised with an Interdisciplinarity of Research Award at
the NMES 3rd Year Research Competition 2022 and I also
received the NVIDIA CCS Best Student Paper Award Runner Up at
IEEE FG 2021 for a publication on social group detection. My
most recent work focuses on nonverbal gesture generation,
specifically role-based gesture generation, demonstrated at
the GENEA Challenge 2023 and ACM ICMI 2023.
I'm also an active member of the Toyota HSR community, and one of the key figures behind Toyota’s UK and International advertisements involving the HSR robot – having worked on promotional material for the 2021 Tokyo Olympics with the UK Paralympics Team, the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics for Channel4, promotional content for Toyota Denmark and Stockholm Museum of Technology, and a Paris’24 Paralympics event. I was also awarded Teacher of the Year 2019 by the Study Board of Media Technology at Aalborg University, and Qualified to 5 of 6 selection rounds of the ESA and HUNOR joint Astronaut selection process.
