About

Dr. Halimahtun M. Khalid is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of human factors, cognitive ergonomics, and human-robot interaction (HRI). Her key research areas focus on the complex dynamics of trust in automated systems, particularly how humans develop, measure, and maintain trust in robotic counterparts. Dr. Khalid’s major contributions include developing innovative methodologies for quantifying trust, most notably through her work on psycho-physiological correlates. Her highly cited 2016 paper (31 citations) introduced a groundbreaking approach that combines subjective psychological measures with objective physiological data—such as heart rate and skin conductance—captured during natural, real-world dialog scenarios. This work laid the foundation for her subsequent studies on the determinants of trust in HRI (2020, 14 citations), where she modeled and predicted trust dynamics. She has also explored creative methods for trust measurement using interactive dialogs (2018, 5 citations). Dr. Khalid’s research is notable for bridging the gap between subjective experience and objective biometrics, offering a more holistic understanding of human trust in technology. Her work has significant implications for designing safer, more trustworthy autonomous systems in fields ranging from healthcare to manufacturing.
