Professor, Head of Unit

My research interests are in situated and embodied cognition, with a focus on how people interact with autonomous systems, such as social robots and automated vehicles.

Presentation

Professor of Cognitive Systems at Linköping University since 2016.

Head of the Cognition & Interaction Lab (COIN), which is part of the Division for Human-Centered Systems (HCS) in the Department of Computer and Information Science (IDA).
