I'm interested in embodied and situated cognition and communication from a philosophical and psychological perspective. Present work concerns social robots and HRI, being in dialogue with materials, improvisation, situated ethics and care, emotion-perception-motor cognition, 4E aesthetics, development, social cognition, cooperation, joint attention, intersubjectivity, engagement. Advisor of PhD diss in philosophy, cognitive science, psychology, philosophy of religion. Interdisciplinary research group CogComLab. Member of Cognitive Modeling Group. Member of Management team of WASP-HS. Affiliated to Institut Jean Nicod in Paris. https://www.lucs.lu.se/lucs-robotics-group http://www.institutnicod.org/ https://wasp-hs.org/ Teaching philosophy since 1989.

My research is interdisciplinary at the intersection of philosophy, psychology and linguistics/gesture studies and concerns foundational issues about cognition and communication from a philosophical, developmental, and evolutionary perspective. I conceive of cognition and communication as embodied and embedded dynamic processes within a larger ecological framework. Publications mainly in psychology, philosophy and cognitive science, centred along three parallel lines of research: (1) social cognition, cooperation, coordination, social norms, intersubjectivity, and joint action; (2) multimodal communication and verbal reference, indexicality, pointing, gaze, and joint attention; (3) creativity, situated meta-cognition and meta-attention, self- and other-awareness, improvisation, and expert skill. On-going work on second-person engagement in infancy; Human-Robot Interaction; material engagement and aesthetic experience in the arts and crafts practices; joint improvisation; togetherness and the We; sensorimotor interaction, pre-reflective cognition, and dialogue; change-blindness.
