**I am on the job market** for post-doc/research scientist/faculty positions! I prototype interactive -robot systems (especially with cobots and cameras) and study user -interactions with them (through mixed methods). I enjoy mentoring and put effort into -fostering collective growth. I am deeply passionate about human -collaboration, both in my research and outside.
