I am an Assistant Professor in the department of Computer Science at VU Amsterdam. My research looks at interdisicplinary approaches to enabling robots to learn new skills from human teachers through situated social interactions. As a professionally trained contemporary dancer, I am also interested in new frontiers in robotics that draw inspiration from the performing arts.
