Sofiane Boucenna is Associate professor at Cergy-Pontoise University in France. He was postdoctorant at Pierre et Marie Curie University in the Institut des Systèmes Intelligents et de Robotique lab (ISIR)in France in 2012-2014. He obtained its PhD at the Cergy Pontoise University in 2011, where he worked with the Neurocybernetic team of the Image and Signal processing Lab (ETIS). His research interests are focused on the modelling of cognitive mechanisms and the development of interaction capabilities such as imitation, emotion and social referencing. Currently, he attempts to assess the effect of the type of partners (adults, typically developing children and children with autism spectrum disorder) on robot learning.
