About
Dr. Aaliyah Alcibar is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of developmental psychology, human-computer interaction, and robotics. Her work fundamentally reimagines how technology shapes human self-awareness, exploring how interactive systems—from projection-based environments to robotic platforms—can facilitate the lifelong "construction of self." In her landmark 2020 paper, "Machine Gaze," Dr. Alcibar demonstrated how computer vision and robotics can create playful, mirror-like experiences that help individuals, from children to adults, engage in cycles of self-identification and redefinition. This work, which has garnered 9 citations, is widely recognized for bridging developmental theory with cutting-edge technology, offering a novel framework for understanding identity formation in the digital age. Her contributions have profound implications for designing educational tools, therapeutic interventions, and assistive technologies that support personal growth. Dr. Alcibar’s research challenges us to see technology not as a distraction from selfhood, but as a dynamic partner in the ongoing process of becoming who we are.
