About

Eleni Mitsea is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of special education, cognitive science, and digital technology. Her work centers on metacognition, mindfulness, and assistive technologies for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and learning disabilities. Mitsea’s major contributions include demonstrating how metacognitive deficits in ASD can be addressed through digital tools and robotics, as evidenced by her highly cited 2020 paper “Metacognition, Mindfulness and Robots for Autism Inclusion” (92 citations). She further advanced this field with a 2022 study on metacognitive skills training using digital technologies (66 citations), establishing her as a key voice in autism intervention research. More recently, Mitsea has explored cutting-edge breathwork technologies for learning disabilities, a novel approach that bridges physiological regulation and educational outcomes. Her work is notable for integrating mindfulness practices with emerging technologies, offering practical, scalable solutions for inclusive education. With a growing citation impact and a focus on underserved populations, Mitsea’s research is shaping how educators and technologists support neurodiverse learners.
