About

Liang Sun is a researcher at the intersection of human-robot interaction, affective computing, and intelligent systems. His work focuses on developing emotionally intelligent robotic systems that can perceive and respond to human psychological states, with a particular emphasis on leveraging biosignal processing — most notably electroencephalography (EEG) — to enable more natural and socially aware interactions between humans and machines. His most recognized contribution, "EEG-Based Emotion Recognition for Modulating Social-Aware Robot Navigation" (2021), demonstrates how real-time decoding of human emotional states can be integrated into companion robot navigation frameworks, allowing robots to dynamically adapt their behavior to reduce social isolation and loneliness — a challenge with significant implications for eldercare and mental health support applications. With 12 citations, this work has already begun attracting attention within the robotics and brain-computer interface communities. Sun's research reflects a broader vision of creating empathetic, context-sensitive robotic companions capable of genuinely supporting human well-being. His interdisciplinary approach — bridging neuroscience, machine learning, and robotics — positions him as an emerging contributor to the rapidly growing field of socially intelligent autonomous systems.
