About

Georgia Lorentzou is a researcher whose work sits at the intersection of robotics, assistive technology, and developmental psychology, with a particular focus on Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). Her scholarship explores how cutting-edge robotic systems can be harnessed to improve therapeutic outcomes and research methodologies for individuals living with autism — a group of lifelong disabilities that significantly impact communication and social interaction. Lorentzou's most influential contribution, "Robotics in Autism Intervention" (2019), has garnered 94 citations, establishing her as a recognized voice in the field of robot-assisted therapy for ASD. The paper offers a comprehensive state-of-the-art review, demonstrating how robotics can serve as a promising tool for both advancing scientific understanding and enhancing real-world treatment approaches. Building on this foundation, her 2023 follow-up, "Robotics for Autistic Children," continues this line of inquiry with a specific focus on younger populations and the application of robot-assisted therapy in clinical and educational settings. Through her sustained commitment to this emerging field, Lorentzou is helping to shape a future where technology plays a meaningful, evidence-based role in supporting neurodivergent individuals and the professionals who work with them.
