About
Dr. Subhash Rajapaksha is a rising scholar at the intersection of human-robot interaction and cybersecurity, whose work critically examines how people perceive and trust emerging technologies. His primary research areas include social robotics, usable security, and the psychological dimensions of human-machine trust. Rajapaksha’s most notable contribution is his field study on usability and security perceptions surrounding social robots, which investigates how users balance convenience against privacy risks when interacting with voice-controlled, socially expressive machines. This work, published in 2021 and garnering initial citations, provides foundational insights into the design of safer, more transparent robotic companions. By bridging the gap between technical security measures and everyday user behavior, Rajapaksha’s research informs the development of robots that are both engaging and trustworthy. His findings are particularly relevant as smart speakers and social robots become more integrated into homes and public spaces. With a focus on user-centered design and ethical implications, Rajapaksha is establishing himself as a key voice in ensuring that the next generation of social technologies respects human autonomy and security.
