Helena Anna Frijns

Short Bio

I am a PhD student in Human-Robot Interaction at TU Wien, Institute of Management Science. I am interested in interactive technologies, collaborating across disciplines and understanding problems in multiple different ways. I am doing project coordination for the project Caring Robots // Robotic Care and research on design methods. The topic of my PhD is interaction design for Human-Robot Interaction.

I previously took part in Doctoral College TrustRobots. I obtained a MSc degree in Media Technology at Leiden University, a BSc degree in Mathematics & Applications at Utrecht University, and a BFA in Fine Arts at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague, in The Netherlands.
