Short presentation
My research has two main directions. The first direction is based on situated and embodied approaches to studying social interaction and cognition in natural and artificial intelligence (AI) systems. The other direction is the application of these approaches in professional working life, such as the design, use, and evaluation of the digital work environment of IT, automation, and robots, mainly in the manufacturing industry, agriculture, and transport.
