Personal profile
Overview
Gabriella is a Senior Lecturer at the School of Physics, Engineering and Computer Science of the University of Hertfordshire. She completed her PhD in the field of Ethology analyzing Human-Dog Interactions, after which she transferred her skills to the field of human-robot interactions. Gabriella has extensive experience in the fields of human-robot interactions and robot-assisted therapy for children with autism. She participated in several large-scale European projects such as LIREC and BabyRobot, as well as in the EPSRC funded project Trustworthy Robotic Assistants. More recently, she has also been involved as a CoI of the UKRI TAS hub's pump priming round one project Kaspar explains, the EPSRC Network+ project EMERGENCE, the EU ERASMUS+ EMBOA project, and the Kaspar for Speech and Language Therapy project funded by the Baily Thomas Charitable Fund.
