Our primary focus lies in harnessing the potential of non-utilized biobased resources to create materials that adhere to the principles of circular and bioeconomy. We seek strategies to better convert biobased precursors into materials, while considering the best scenario for their end-of-life. Copied

Dr. Fiona Yuan at Worcester Polytechnic Institute is Recruiting PhD Students in Robotics Engineering, Healthcare Technology and Artificial Intelligence My research primarily focuses on socially assistive robotics, multimodal human-robot interaction, and human-centered AI to enhance dementia care and other healthcare applications. Motivated by the needs of individuals with dementia and their families, I am dedicated to developing AI and robotic systems to better care for those affected by dementia. My work encompasses robotic perception, decision-making, and feedback mechanisms within the human-robot interaction process. Inspired by human intelligence in caregiving, I am particularly interested in transferring aspects of human intelligence—such as emotional intelligence, social intelligence, adaptability, and personalization—to robots through AI. My research extends beyond robotic modeling and algorithms. Through close collaborations with experts and stakeholders from various disciplines, including nursing, occupational therapy, recreational therapy, social work, caregivers, and individuals with dementia, I am passionate about bringing social robots into real-world applications. Interdisciplinary collaboration is a foundational component of my research. Link: https://www.wpi.edu/people/faculty/fyuan3 Send her an email with your CV: fyuan3@wpi.edu Copied
