Biography

Hannah Pelikan is an Assistant Professor at Linköping University. Her research combines human-robot interaction with ethnomethodologic interaction design, focusing on human-robot interaction by studying robots in everyday interactions. Her current work particularly studies robots in public contexts, emphasizing the human 'wrangling' work that makes robots appear autonomous. She employs an ethnomethodology and conversation analysis (EMCA) perspective to understand how people engage with robots in daily life. Hannah draws from video recordings for analytical purposes and works on developing methods for designing human-centered robots. Her work contributes to interactional and embodied theories of human sociality and artificial intelligence. Previously, Hannah was a postdoctoral fellow in the WASP-HS AI Motion project and has collaborated with various institutions, including the University of Nottingham. She holds a PhD in Language and Culture from Linköping University, a degree in Interaction Technology from the University of Twente in the Netherlands, and a bachelor's degree in Cognitive Science from Osnabrück University in Germany.
