About
Zhan Xu is a researcher whose work explores the intersection of technology, communication, and risk perception. Their key research areas include human-robot interaction, crisis communication, and the use of emerging technologies for public education. Xu's most notable contribution is the pioneering study "You’re my only hope: An initial exploration of the effectiveness of robotic platforms in engendering learning about crises and risks" (2016), which investigates how robotic platforms can enhance public understanding of crises and risks—a novel approach that bridges robotics and risk communication. This work, with 5 citations, has laid foundational insights into how non-human agents can serve as effective educational tools in high-stakes scenarios. Xu's research is particularly impactful for its interdisciplinary nature, offering practical implications for emergency management, public health messaging, and human-robot interaction design. By demonstrating that robots can foster learning and engagement in crisis contexts, Xu has opened new avenues for using technology to improve societal resilience. Their work continues to inspire scholars and practitioners seeking innovative ways to communicate complex risks to diverse audiences.
