Francesca is a Social Psychologist and PhD Student in Cognitive Robotics, Interaction and Rehabilitation. She studies the social cognition of robotics by understanding how Human-Robot Interaction changes from dyadic to group interaction. She conducts research with an interdisciplinary perspective. She also collaborate with the psychology department in understanding how social categorization affect the perception of robots.
