About

Dr. Marina‐Selini Katsaiti is a distinguished researcher whose work bridges the critical nexus of development economics, health economics, and the societal implications of emerging technologies. Her most cited study, "Opinions and attitudes toward humanoid robots in the Middle East" (2011, 68 citations), stands as a pioneering contribution to understanding cross-cultural acceptance of robotics. This work provided foundational insights into how cultural, religious, and social norms shape human-robot interaction in a region often overlooked by mainstream robotics research, offering essential guidance for the global deployment of autonomous systems. Beyond this, Dr. Katsaiti’s broader research portfolio explores the intricate relationships between economic development, subjective well-being, and public health outcomes, often employing advanced econometric methods to analyze large-scale survey data. Her scholarship has been instrumental in demonstrating how economic shocks and policy interventions affect quality of life in diverse populations. With a career marked by interdisciplinary rigor, Dr. Katsaiti continues to shape policy discourse, making her work indispensable for students and researchers seeking to understand the human dimensions of technological and economic change.
