معرفی
Dr. Olga Abramov is a researcher at Bielefeld University, affiliated with the Faculty of Engineering and the Center for Cognitive Interaction Technology (CITEC) as part of the Cognitive Systems and Social Interaction Group.
Research Interests: Her primary research areas include cognitive systems, social interaction, gesture-speech integration, child language development, human-robot interaction, and applying network theory to linguistics. Her work explores how humans, particularly children, integrate information across different modalities like speech and gesture, and how these insights can inform the design of more intuitive human-robot interactions.
Recent Research Trends: Dr. Abramov's recent publications (2024-2025) demonstrate a strong focus on child development and multimodal communication, with studies examining preschool children's cognitive abilities, discourse competence, and gesture use across different communicative contexts. She has also expanded her research into human-robot interaction, investigating how humans perceive and interpret robot gestures. Her earlier work (2018-2011) includes significant contributions to network theory applied to linguistics, examining language classification through syntactic dependency networks.
Collaborations: She frequently collaborates with researchers including Friederike Kern, Ulrich Mertens, Anne Németh, Stefan Kopp, and Katharina Rohlfing on child development studies, and with Tatiana Lokot and Alexander Mehler on network theory research.
