معرفی
Dr. Ronald Poppe is an Associate Professor at Utrecht University's Faculty of Science within the Department of Social and Affective Computing. His research focuses on behavioral analysis, computer vision, human-computer interaction, and non-verbal behavior. Key themes include applied data science, dynamics of youth, game research, and human-centered AI. Recent work emphasizes automated analysis of parent-child interactions, gaze dynamics, and multimodal interaction modeling. He has received a 2023 fellowship for studying early life stress and parent-child interaction. His research also explores deception detection, egocentric vision, and gesture recognition, leveraging deep learning and transformer architectures. Poppe collaborates on projects like the 'Interactive Tag Playground' and contributes to datasets such as the Corpus of Social Touch (CoST). His work bridges computational methods with psychological and social science applications.
