I am the PI of an NSF National Robotics Initiative collaborative grant to study robot-mediated inclusion and co-create better robots. This builds on my NIH-funded biomedical and health informatics research in UC Irvine's Institute for Clinical and Translational Science (ICTS). My research encompasses strong interdisciplinary efforts between medicine, health informatics, learning sciences, and the technology industry. My research interests include telerobots, health equity, robot-mediated social-emotional development, human development, inclusive future, and emerging technologies that facilitate improved health outcomes.
