About
Thomas Given-Wilson is a researcher at the intersection of cybersecurity, privacy, and intelligent environments, with a particular focus on social robotics and human-centered computing. His work addresses critical challenges in designing secure, trustworthy systems for vulnerable populations, especially older adults. In his highly cited 2017 paper on information security, privacy, and trust in social robotic assistants, he laid foundational principles for ensuring that assistive technologies respect user autonomy while mitigating risks—a contribution that has shaped ethical guidelines in human-robot interaction. His 2018 work on group abstraction for assisted navigation in intelligent environments (6 citations) introduced novel methods for modeling social activities, enabling more intuitive and adaptive support systems. Given-Wilson’s research is notable for bridging technical rigor with real-world applicability, earning recognition for its impact on aging-in-place technologies and privacy-preserving AI. His work continues to influence how researchers design secure, empathetic robotic systems that empower rather than surveil.
