About Me
I am a PhD candidate at Uppsala University, working on Computer Vision applied to Social Robotics. My project, "Explainable deep learning methods for human-human and human-robot interaction", aims to use modern end-to-end techniques to detect and analyse emotional alignment during social interactions. The long-term goal is to apply these findings to social robots, so we can improve their conversational skills.
My project is funded by Uppsala University's Centre for Interdisciplinary Mathematics (CIM), and by the Swedish Research Council's ELECTRA project (grant no. 2020-03167). I am a member of the Uppsala Social Robotics Lab (USRL), as well as Methods for Image Data Analysis (MIDA).
