Her current research projects focus on the interaction between humans and social machines, particularly on how children perceive these technologies and how it influences their behavior.
Education
She is pursuing her PhD at the Syracuse University School of Information Studies, advised by Dr. Jaime Banks.
Background
She is a PhD student at the Syracuse University School of Information Studies (iSchool). Her research interests include how humans, especially children, perceive mental capacities and moral patiency in social machines (e.g., voice assistants, chatbots, and social robots), and how these perceptions shape their interactions with both machines and humans. She also explores the potential implications of AI for intimacy, relationships, and identity.
Miscellany
She finds humans challenging due to their own thoughts, emotions, and unpredictable behaviors, while AI adapts to her, reflecting her thoughts, emotions, and unpredictable behaviors.
