I successfully defended my master’s thesis and passed my Ph.D. speaking qualifier.

I attended the HAI conference in Yokohama, Japan, where I presented at the Workshop on Socially Aware and Cooperative Intelligent Systems on my most recent work on social exercise coaches for older adults (short paper). I also presented a poster on my prior work, focusing on need finding and early design insights for exercise robots for older adults.

I had the pleasure of presenting my research at the RIKEN Center for Advanced Intelligence Project (AIP) in Tokyo, Japan, hosted by Dr. Mihoko Otake-Matsuura.
This seminar was co-hosted by the Cognitive Behavioral Assistive Technology (CBAT) Team, RIKEN AIP, and the Special Interest Group on “Nursing Care Robot” of the Robotics Society of Japan (SIGNCR-RSJ).
