Eike Schneiders

Dr Eike Schneiders is an Assistant Professor at the School of Electronics and Computer Science, University of Southampton. His research focuses on Human-Computer/Robot Interaction (HCI/HRI) and Human-AI Interaction. He received his PhD in Computer Science (11/2022) from Aalborg University in Denmark, where he investigated how the inclusion of robots influences interactions and collaborations within non-dyadic groups in real-world settings. Eike has previously worked on projects involving personal assistant, domestic robots, as well as artist-led research. While primarily focusing on qualitative in-the-wild studies, he also conducts quantitative and mixed-method based research such as controlled studies, online or lab-based experiments. Currently, he is emphasising multidisciplinary research on the societal impacts of generative AI, including text-to-image and large language models (LLMs).
