About

Neda Chehlarova is a researcher at the intersection of digital accessibility, educational technology, and human-robot interaction. Her work focuses on two key areas: ensuring that digital environments are inclusive for people with special needs, and understanding the psychological and psychophysical factors that shape user acceptance of social cyber-physical systems. In her most cited paper (5 citations, 2024), she proposes an ecosystem for providing digital accessibility, addressing the urgent need for inclusive educational technologies in our increasingly digital world. Her research on the psychophysics of user acceptance (2 citations, 2024) explores how fundamental perceptual laws govern human responses to robots and cyber-physical systems, offering novel insights into phenomena like the uncanny valley and psychological reactance. Chehlarova also contributes to STEM education, as demonstrated by her work on teaching symmetry concepts using the Photon Robot (2023). Her interdisciplinary approach—bridging psychophysics, accessibility, and robotics—positions her as an emerging voice in creating technologies that are both psychologically attuned and universally accessible.
