About

Yan-Ming Chiou is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of cybersecurity education and human-robot interaction. Her work focuses on developing innovative, age-appropriate methods to teach foundational cybersecurity concepts to young children, particularly through the use of social robots and storytelling. Chiou’s major contributions include designing and evaluating interactive cybersecurity education programs that leverage social robots as engaging pedagogical tools. Her most cited paper, “Teacher Views on Storytelling-based Cybersecurity Education with Social Robots” (2021, 10 citations), explores how educators perceive the integration of storytelling and robotics to address children’s online safety, highlighting the critical need for early cybersecurity awareness. In her earlier work, “Social robot teaches cybersecurity” (2020, 6 citations), she demonstrated the practical application of robots in delivering foundational cybersecurity lessons, paving the way for novel human-robot interaction in education. Chiou’s research is notable for bridging the gap between technical cybersecurity content and accessible, child-friendly learning experiences. Her contributions are especially timely given the increasing online risks faced by children, and her work has laid important groundwork for future curricula that combine technology, storytelling, and safety education.
