معرفی
Salla Jarske is a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Department of Computing Sciences at Tampere University, specializing in the intersection of robotics, social sciences, and human-computer interaction with emphasis on youth engagement and societal applications of social robots.
She earned her Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) from Tampere University in 2025 through her dissertation Strange Machines: Robot sociality as a challenge for human-centred design, which established her expertise in ethnomethodology and conversation analysis within human-robot interaction contexts.
Her research explores how social robots facilitate societal participation among young people, foster climate hope in adolescents, and navigate group interactions through qualitative methods like design workshops and field studies. Key contributions examine robot sociality challenges, youth expectations in robotics, and climate communication frameworks.
Analysis of her 12 research outputs (2020-2025) reveals consistent interdisciplinary focus on social robotics, with emerging trends in climate anxiety mitigation and multi-party interaction dynamics. Her work bridges computer science, psychology, and social sciences to address UN Sustainable Development Goals related to quality education and climate action.
