Hi! This is Ada. I’m a final-year research MSc student in Communication Science at the University of Amsterdam (UvA).My research applies principles from the social sciences to social robotics and human-robot interaction, with a strong focus on human-centered design. I enjoy working in interdisciplinary settings, collaborating across fields to develop socially intelligent, responsible, and trustworthy robots, and to conduct rigorous empirical research on their fairness, accountability, and transparency.
I’m seeking PhD opportunities in social robotics starting in Fall 2026 and would be happy to connect with anyone interested in discussing potential collaboration or fit. Thank you for visiting my website!
