Research Statement

Research background

I completed my doctoral research in an industrial doctorate framework and I was affiliated with a residential care facility for individuals with Intellectual Disability (ID) having 60+ patients. Over the last three years of my doctoral research, I have been working on

extending the benefits of Socially Assistive Robotics (SAR) to individuals with wide range of mental health concerns and emotion recognition via Electrodermal-Activity (EDA) physiological signal with a keen focus on real-time applications.

Robot-assisted systems for cognitive rehabilitation can increase the reach of potential benefits of evidence-based psychological/psychosocial interventions to the individuals with a wide range of mental …show more content…

I created first-ever annotated multimodal database of individuals with ID named MuDERI and is now publicly available. Further, I developed an efficient wavelet-based method for artifacts attenuation while minimizing distortions to denoise the EDA signal during online processing. At the end of my thesis, I systematically analyzed the significance and the suitability of different EDA feature types across time, frequency and time-frequency domains. Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCCs) and related statistical features were explored for the first time for the emotion recognition from EDA signals and they outperformed all other feature types, including the most commonly used Skin Conductance Response (SCR) related …show more content…

My research interest lies in the intersection of Human-Robot Interaction, Machine Learning and Psychology, Computer Science and Psychology. Thanks to the undertaken industrial doctorate training, I have been uniquely prepared to create the value for my research. I like to do the research in close collaboration with the end users. During my doctoral research, I have been involved in experiments with wide range of individuals, from perfectly health individuals to individuals with ID and kids with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Involving end-users certainly adds to the complexity of the research but it not only improves the quality of the research but also adds to the personal skills of the researcher, e.g. I learnt to communicate fluently in Spanish which otherwise would have been very difficult. I strongly believe that such end-user collaborations only can make our research efforts fruitful by causing an end-user impact. At the same time, I also believe that such end-user driven research will motivate us to invest more in the generation of intellectual properties. These intellectual properties must be harvested via technology transfer to feedback our research. It is absolutely essential, especially in the context of our country where funding opportunities are usually

    If I could make a Ithaca College honors seminar I would have us examine what the use of silence can do with in art. We would examine this using multiple platforms including theatre, music, movies, as well as some literature and writings about the effect of silence. I would give the class the whole material and allow them to come to their own opinion on what exactly these pauses do. For each exposure to the material I would require the members of the class to do their own short individual reflect before coming in, to allow people to already have at least a bit of their own form opinion. This class would be mainly rooted in class discuss, I would help by providing questions or clips to help spark the conversation but I would hope it would be environment where people wanted to share their opinions and discuss with their classmates with help from me, the professor.

  • Ideology Essay

    Introduction Ideology created by the tradition and culture now has strong power in the society and potentially affects citizens’ mind in the everyday life. Culture and traditions to some extant are regarded as the truth, regulation and standard after the long period of social practice and develop the ideology hegemony in the disciplinary institutions such as family, school and even the whole society. Simultaneously, once people born into the world they are never stop finding the answer of “who am I”, and ideology actually participates in the whole process. Stuart Hell (1996) mentioned that the identity is reproduced based on distinguishing self from others in the social group in which members share same history and characteristics. The gender

    SOC 100 - Midterm Essay In the U.S., we were taught to categorize people into different “racial groups” such as White, Black, Asian, and so on, based on physical features, including skin color, hair texture, shapes of lips, and more.

There are three main arguments for why race is created and designed by society.

  • Sociological Perspectives Essay

    1191 Words  | 5 Pages

    Perspective is a chosen approach that can be used to study any subject in the field of sociology. These perspectives highlight the diverse methods an individual selects to analyze a theme and how they perceive the society in general. Three sociological perspectives include functionalist, conflict and interactionist perspectives (Thompson, Hickey, & Thompson, 2016, p. 2). Throughout this paper, I examine how we analyze the role of television from the functional, conflict, and interactionist approaches. Functionalist perspective on a macro-sociological level places far more emphasis on “the collective life or communal existence than on the individual” (Thompson, Hickey, & Thompson, 2016).

    Teaching philosophy is described by Sadker and Sadker as, “Behind every school and every teacher is a set of related beliefs - a philosophy of education – that influences what and how students are taught. A philosophy of education represents answers to questions about the purpose of schooling, a teacher’s role and what should be taught and by what methods.” (Teacher, Schools and Society. 2005). With this definition in consideration, my teaching philosophy is “I believe that children learn best when they are given the chance to choose, discuss and explore what they want to learn, when they want to learn and how they want to learn.
