معرفی
Dr. Iulia Ionescu is a Senior Lecturer and Programme Director for Creative Computing and Robotics postgraduate courses at UAL's Creative Computing Institute, with additional Visiting Senior Lecturer appointments at Royal College of Art and Imperial College London. She holds a Microsoft-sponsored PhD in AI design from RCA, complemented by an MA in Design (RCA), MSc in Mechanical Engineering (Imperial College), and BArch (Nottingham University).
Her interdisciplinary research examines social phenomena in algorithmic societies, focusing on co-construction of meaning in human-AI interaction and anthropomorphism in technology design. Core interests include technology-mediated social dynamics, perceptual interfaces, and ethical implications of autonomous systems.
Recent publications demonstrate consistent focus on human-centered technology design across robotics, linguistics, and interaction paradigms, with emerging patterns in embodied cognition and generative systems.
Teaching includes course leadership for MA/MSc Creative Computing and development of 'Methods 1: Creative Computing Research Methods' curriculum.
