About

Kleomenis Katevas is a leading researcher at the intersection of human-computer interaction, social robotics, and mobile sensing. His work explores how autonomous systems can understand and respond to complex human social dynamics, with a particular focus on non-verbal communication and real-world behavioral contexts. In his pioneering "Robot Comedy Lab" study (2015, 55 citations), Katevas demonstrated how robots can be used as experimental tools to probe the subtle social signals—such as body orientation, gesture, and gaze—that underpin live performance and audience engagement. This work not only advanced the field of social robotics but also provided a novel framework for studying human interaction in ecologically valid settings. Beyond comedy, Katevas has made significant contributions to mobile sensing, developing methods to infer human behavior and context from smartphone and wearable data. His research is widely cited for its interdisciplinary approach, bridging computer science, psychology, and performance studies. A notable achievement includes his work on privacy-preserving sensing systems, which has influenced both academic research and industry applications. With a growing citation record, Katevas continues to shape how we design technologies that are socially aware, context-sensitive, and ethically grounded.
