Micol Spitale
Micol Spitale is currently a PostDoc at the Affective IntelligenceMicol & Robotics Laboratory (AFAR Lab), Department of Computer Science & Technology of the University of Cambridge, under the supervision of professor Hatice Gunes. Her research focuses on developing a Socio-emotionally Adaptive Robotic (ARoEQ) platform that can foster wellbeing through coaching and psychologically-proven interventions. She has just finalised her Ph.D. (end of October 2021) in Information Technology (Computer Science and Engineering Area) affiliated with IBM Italy and co-funded by EIT Digital.

Katie Winkle
Katie Winkle is an Assistant Professor at the Department ofKatie Information Technology, Uppsala University, where she is developing new lines of research around trustworthy Human Robot Interaction (and what that means) at the Social Robotics Lab. Her research interests cover the design, development, evaluation and application of socially assistive robotics, with a focus on human-in-the-loop design/development and mutual shaping approaches which recognise the two-way interaction between robots and society.
