| Feb 7, 2024 | I won the People’s Choice Award at the 2024 CU Boulder Graduate School 3MT (Three Minute Thesis) competition, receiving the highest number of audience votes. |
| Jan 25, 2024 | Our new paper, titled “Recency Bias in Task Performance History Affects Perceptions of Robot Competence and Trustworthiness,” has been accepted at ICRA 2024. In this work, we explore how recency bias affects task performance history in human-robot interactions and propose approaches to mitigate its impact on user trust and perceptions of robot competence.
