Bio

Sarah Sebo is an Assistant Professor in the Computer Science Department at the University of Chicago. Her research explores social dynamics in human-robot interactions, where she designs social robots that can shape human-to-human interactions, enable long-term human-robot social relationships, and build a fundamental understanding of how to engineer human-like social interactions. Her research demonstrates real impact in people's everyday lives through the design and development of robots for use in education, within collaborative teams, and in the home. Dr. Sebo completed her Ph.D. at Yale University where she worked with Dr. Brian Scassellati in the Social Robotics Lab. Her dissertation work focused on developing robots that improve the performance of human-robot teams by shaping team dynamics to promote inclusion, trust, and cohesion. Dr. Sebo completed her B.S. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering.
