About

Dr. Nilufar Baghaei is a leading researcher at the intersection of human-computer interaction, artificial intelligence, and assistive technology. Her work focuses on designing intelligent systems that enhance human well-being, with a particular emphasis on socially assistive robotics and digital health interventions. One of her most notable contributions is the development of the RoboChair, a socially assistive companion robotic wheelchair introduced in her 2013 paper. This innovative platform integrates robotic mobility with social interaction capabilities, aiming to improve quality of life for individuals with mobility impairments. While her citation count reflects the emerging nature of this field, her pioneering work has laid crucial groundwork for future assistive robotics research. Dr. Baghaei’s research spans multiple domains, including educational technology, persuasive systems for health behavior change, and human-robot interaction. Her interdisciplinary approach combines technical innovation with deep understanding of user needs, making her contributions particularly valuable for developing technologies that are both functional and socially engaging.
