I am a Doctoral Researcher in the Autotelic Interaction Research group at Aalto University, supervised by Prof. Christian Guckelsberger. My primary background is in psychology, and I am especially interested in the intersection between psychology and technology as well as human factors more broadly.
My current work focuses on investigating which elements lead us, or keep us from, calling AI "creative". The goal is to contribute to a deeper understanding of our relationship with creative AI and thus its societal adoption. This interdiscliplinary research draws on psychology, human-computer/robot interaction, and (computational) creativity.
