Hello! I'm Rydia, a first year PhD student in the Hemodynamics, Automation, Resilience & Trust lab (HeART) as well as the Applied Psychology and Autonomous Systems lab (ALPHAS). My research interests are everything to do with improving how we interact with robots and technology. In my spare time, I like to swim, play piano/ukulele, read, cosplay, and play video games.
