Team
The Human-Centered Robotics and Neurotechnology Lab at Texas State University brings together students working on human-robot interaction, brain-computer interfaces, and drones.
Principal investigator
Roya Salehzadeh, Ph.D.
Assistant Professor, Ingram School of Engineering
Dr. Salehzadeh directs the Human-Centered Robotics and Neurotechnology Lab. Her research focuses on human-robot interaction, brain-computer interfaces, and machine learning for adaptive robotic systems, with an emphasis on trust, perceived safety, and how people respond to robot behavior.
She received her Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering and M.S. in Computer Science from The University of Alabama, where she worked with Prof. Nader Jalili on human-in-the-loop control, trust in human-robot collaboration, and brain-computer interfaces. She also holds an M.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering from Amirkabir University of Technology and a B.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering from Urmia University. Before joining Texas State, she was an Assistant Professor of Mechanical, Robotics, and Industrial Engineering at Lawrence Technological University.
