معرفی
Dr. Olya Hakobyan is a Researcher at the University of Bielefeld, working in the Faculty of Engineering within the Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence Group at the Center for Cognitive Interaction Technology (CITEC). She has been with the university since June 2021 as a research associate in the Multimodal Behavior Processing lab.
Dr. Hakobyan's educational background includes:
- PhD in Computational Neuroscience (2016-2020) from the Institute for Neural Computation at Ruhr University Bochum
- Master's degree in Cognitive Science (2014-2016) from Ruhr University Bochum
- Bachelor's degree in Linguistics (2010-2014) from Yerevan Brusov State University of Languages and Social Sciences
Her research focuses on the intersection of artificial intelligence, cognitive science, and human-computer interaction. Dr. Hakobyan specializes in affective computing, explainable AI systems, and the development of privacy-preserving data donation platforms. Her work on the Dona platform represents a significant contribution to ethical data collection methods for social interaction analysis. She investigates how AI systems can interpret human emotions through audio and visual channels while maintaining transparency in decision-making processes. Her research also extends to cognitive modeling, particularly in understanding memory processes and recognition mechanisms.
Dr. Hakobyan's publication record demonstrates a strong trajectory in developing methods for analyzing social interactions through digital footprints while addressing critical privacy concerns. Her work bridges technical innovation with ethical considerations in data collection.
Her scientific contributions have focused on:
- Privacy-preserving data donation frameworks
- Explainable AI for emotion recognition systems
- Analysis of social interactions through digital communication
- Cognitive modeling of memory processes
- Ethical considerations in AI and data science
