About
Dr. Yuanyuan Su is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of affective computing, human-robot interaction (HRI), and environmental psychology. Her work focuses on endowing machines with the ability to perceive and interpret human emotional states, particularly in complex, real-world settings. Su’s most notable contribution is a multi-modal framework that integrates electroencephalography (EEG) with eye-tracking data to decode emotional intensity in adolescents. This approach, detailed in her highly cited 2019 paper, moves beyond traditional facial expression analysis by capturing both physiological and behavioral signals, enabling robots to respond more naturally to human affect. Her research has garnered significant attention, with her flagship study accumulating 18 citations and shaping subsequent work in adaptive HRI. By addressing the nuanced emotional responses of adolescents to different built environments, Su has laid critical groundwork for developing empathetic, context-aware robotic systems. Her work holds profound implications for educational technology, therapeutic robotics, and the design of emotionally intelligent spaces, establishing her as a key voice in the drive toward more human-like machine communication.
