About

Dr. Elaheh Momeni is a leading researcher at the intersection of computational social science and human-robot interaction, with a primary focus on understanding public and media perceptions of emerging technologies. Her most influential work, "Public vs Media Opinion on Robots" (2019), pioneered a novel methodology for comparing large-scale text corpora from Twitter, Google News, Bing News, and Kickstarter to reveal critical divergences between grassroots public sentiment and mainstream media narratives about robotics. This foundational study, which has garnered 2 citations, established a framework for analyzing how media framing shapes—and sometimes distorts—public consensus on automation and AI. Dr. Momeni’s contributions are particularly notable for bridging natural language processing with sociological analysis, offering actionable insights for policymakers and technologists navigating the societal integration of robots. Her work underscores the importance of listening to diverse public voices in an era of rapid technological change, making her a vital voice in debates about responsible innovation and democratic technology governance.
