I am Paulina, a graduate in cognitive science and currently a PhD student in philosophy at the Jagiellonian University. I work on the social perception of robots, how their appearance and behaviour affect humans. I am particularly interested in the philosophical aspect of this relationship - how we anthropomorphise robots, knowing that we are dealing with artificial agents. I am also interested in research methodology and qualitative analysis, which offers unique insights into what mental images of the robot are created by humans during our interactions.

I find social robotics particularly engaging due to the fact that, although robots are becoming more and more common, there are still many important issues standing at the intersection of humanities and technology that require our reflection.

When I'm not thinking about robots, I love cycling, walking and spontaneous trips out of town.
