Dr. Stasha Lauria is a Lecturer in the Department of Computer Science within the College of Engineering, Design and Physical Sciences at Brunel University London. With over 15 years of experience in intelligent robotics, she specializes in human-machine interactions, neural networks, and pattern recognition, leading the Brunel Robotics Laboratory for cognitive mobile robot experiments. Education: Laurea, University of Studies “Federico II” of Napoli, Italy Ph.D. in Cybernetics, University of Reading, UK Research Focus: Her work centers on modeling mobile robots through natural language interactions, converting human speech into robot actions, and AI-driven signal processing. Current projects investigate social media's impact on human-robot dialogue management and robotics as educational tools, with strong emphasis on neural networks and big data applications in vision systems. Publication Trends: Recent publications (2022-2009) reveal consistent innovation in computer vision (object detection, segmentation) and human-robot interaction, increasingly integrating deep learning for manufacturing and vision tasks. Educational robotics remains a parallel thread, with quantitative evaluations of programming pedagogy. Research Grants: A human-centred internet of things platform for the sustainable mine of the future (European Commission, May 2020 - April 2024) Intelligent data-driven pipeline for certified metal parts manufacturing (European Commission, October 2018 - March 2023) Big Data Learning-based QoS Analysis for Cloud-services (Royal Society, March 2016 - February 2018) Laboratory & Collaboration: Founder of the Brunel Robotics Laboratory, she collaborates extensively with Dr. Theodora Koulouri, Prof. Xiaohui Liu, and Dr. Stephen Swift on human-robot interaction, as evidenced by co-author networks spanning neural networks, dialogue systems, and multi-agent architectures.
