About
Dr. Rosanna Yuen-Yan Chan is a leading researcher in human-computer interaction and assistive technology, with a primary focus on supporting neurodiverse populations, particularly children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Her most cited work, "Using robot animation to promote gestural skills in children with autism spectrum disorders" (2016, 55 citations), demonstrates her pioneering approach to leveraging technology for therapeutic intervention. In this study, Dr. Chan developed an innovative video-modeling program that uses robot animation to teach gestural comprehension and production to children with low-functioning ASD, addressing a critical developmental gap. This work exemplifies her broader research contributions at the intersection of educational technology, robotics, and special education, where she designs evidence-based interventions that are both engaging and effective. Her research has been recognized for its practical impact, offering scalable solutions for therapists and educators working with children who have limited gestural communication skills. Dr. Chan’s work continues to influence the design of assistive technologies, bridging the gap between computational innovation and real-world clinical applications.
