Helena Anna Frijns is a postdoctoral researcher at the Intelligent User Interfaces group at IT:U in Linz, Austria. She completed her doctorate in the research field of Human-Robot Interaction at TU Wien. Her doctorate focused on modelling interaction and communication between humans and robots and how to design for interactions that make it easier for end users to interpret and adapt robot behavior. Her research interests include adaptation and learning of users in interaction with technologies and interaction design for Human-Robot Collaboration scenarios.
