My name is Mirella – I’m a psychologist with 10+ years of research experience in HCI. My research focuses on emotions in interaction with technology and AI as well as computational models of emotion. As a doctoral researcher in Tomo’s lab, I research emotions and emotion regulation in Pupil-AI interactions and how to design trustworthy and emotion-sensitive AI-driven learning technology. I lead the MindfulMath project where we develop a Mindful Math Tutor to regulate math anxiety. On a personal level, I’m an artistic mind who enjoys crafting, drawing, making music, and cosplaying. I maintain my sanity with being in nature, cold training, yoga/meditation, and heavy metal music.
