Profile
Dr Albert's research focuses on how we interact with and care for each other, sometimes involving machines.
His work explores how social behaviours can reveal fundamental structures of human action and cognition.
Dr Albert has studied how politicians shake hands with 'less important' people, how gallery visitors talk about conceptual art, why smart speakers make terrible conversational partners, and how novice dance partners learn by misunderstanding each other.
His current research project is looking at how disabled people use AI and voice technologies in health and social care.
