About
Dr. Jessica Korneder is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of socially assistive robotics and autism therapy, whose work is reshaping how technology supports individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Her primary research areas include robot-mediated interventions, Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), and human-robot interaction for developmental disabilities. Dr. Korneder’s major contributions center on designing and validating robotic systems that teach critical communication and intraverbal skills to children with ASD, with her most-cited study (23 citations) demonstrating the efficacy of a robot-mediated listening comprehension intervention. She has also advanced the field by investigating therapists’ perspectives on implementing robots into clinical practice (11 citations) and exploring group instruction formats (10 citations), ensuring her innovations are practical and clinician-friendly. Notably, her work on in-the-wild learning from demonstration and VR-based teleoperation for therapy delivery (8 citations each) pushes the boundaries of accessible, adaptive intervention tools. With over 80 total citations across her publications, Dr. Korneder’s research not only achieves strong academic impact but also addresses real-world challenges—such as parental trust and therapist usability—making her a leading voice in creating compassionate, technology-driven solutions for neurodiverse populations.
