About
Marianne Graves Petersen is a leading researcher in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), whose work bridges tangible interaction, shape-changing interfaces, and human-robot collaboration. Her research focuses on designing expressive and intuitive interactions between people and technology, particularly in hybrid and collaborative settings. Petersen’s framework on "Expressivity in Interaction" (2021, 25 citations) provides a foundational lens for understanding how users communicate meaning through technology, influencing design in affective computing and ubiquitous systems. She has made notable contributions to shape-changing interfaces, exploring how physical transformations in robots can convey social and aesthetic qualities, as seen in her work on "Imagined Physics" (2015). More recently, Petersen has advanced hybrid collaboration with projects like "TableBot" (2024), which investigates how telepresence robots can enhance remote participation, and "RoboVisAR" (2024), an immersive AR tool for visualizing robot behaviors in real-time. Her work is characterized by a deep commitment to making technology more responsive, expressive, and human-centered, with growing impact across HCI, robotics, and design research.
