Member of the Everyday Media Lab
Since June 2022, Büsra Sarigül has been working as a research associate and PhD student in the Everyday Media lab at the IWM. In her research, she focuses on the communication qualities of social agents in the context of multimodal integration.
Büsra Sarigül studied Psychology (B.Sc. 2016) at Ankara University. She completed her master's degree in Interdisciplinary Social Psychiatry at the same university in 2020. In her master's thesis, she explored how the appearance of robots shapes predictions and whether these predictions are similar to predictions made for humans. During her studies, she has been involved in various projects as a research assistant at Radboud University, University of Amsterdam, University of St Andrews and Goethe Institut.
