About
Dr. Julie Wang is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of human-robot interaction and affective computing, with a primary focus on emotion regulation and social robotics. Her most influential work introduces a novel robot-led intervention that guides users through the complete emotion regulation process—from emotional expression to cognitive reappraisal—addressing a critical gap in accessible mental health tools. This landmark study, published in 2026 and already garnering 2 citations, demonstrates how structured, regular interactions with a social robot can help individuals practice emotion regulation skills in a familiar, low-pressure environment, reducing the cognitive burden typically associated with such exercises. Dr. Wang’s research is notable for translating complex psychological concepts into tangible, scalable robotic applications, making emotion regulation training more approachable for everyday users. Her work sits at the forefront of using embodied AI for mental wellness, offering a promising pathway for integrating social robots into therapeutic and educational settings. By bridging robotics and clinical psychology, Dr. Wang is shaping how we think about technology’s role in emotional health.
