About
Andrea Bianchi is a leading researcher at the intersection of human-computer interaction, haptics, and assistive robotics. Her work fundamentally explores how technology can mediate human presence and enhance communication, particularly in medical and collaborative contexts. A key contribution is her comprehensive survey on medical robotic telepresence design, which systematically analyzed the needs and perspectives of medical staff, providing a crucial framework for developing more effective remote healthcare systems. This foundational work, cited over 50 times, has guided subsequent research in telemedicine and human-robot interaction. Bianchi is also widely recognized for her pioneering contributions to haptic interfaces, including the development of novel tactile displays and wearable devices that enable more intuitive and expressive communication through touch. Her research on shape-changing interfaces and deformable user interfaces has opened new avenues for tangible interaction. With over 1,500 citations to her name, Bianchi’s work has been published in top-tier venues like CHI and UIST, and she has received multiple best paper awards, establishing her as a leading voice in creating more natural and embodied interactions between humans and technology.
