About
Lucy Diep’s research sits at the intersection of emerging technologies, human acceptance, and ethical governance, with a particular focus on social robotics, brain-machine interfaces, and neuro/cognitive enhancement. Her most-cited work (2013, 22 citations) provides a comprehensive analysis of how technology acceptance theories and frameworks apply to these three transformative fields, offering critical insights into the parameters that shape public and professional adoption. Diep’s 2015 study on social robotics in special education (18 citations) is especially notable for its direct engagement with practitioners, interviewing special education teachers to explore the practical viability of robots in classrooms—a rare and valuable perspective that bridges technical development with real-world needs. Her 2013 paper on therapeutic enhancement technologies (15 citations) challenges conventional definitions of health and normalcy, probing the ethical and discursive dimensions of interventions that push beyond species-typical abilities. Additionally, her 2014 work on anticipatory governance (14 citations) positions her as a forward-thinking scholar concerned with responsible innovation. With a cumulative impact of nearly 70 citations across these key papers, Diep’s contributions are essential reading for anyone interested in the human-centered design, acceptance, and societal implications of emerging neurotechnologies and social robotics.
