About

Dr. Anna CohenMiller is a leading researcher at the intersection of educational technology, cognitive learning, and human-robot interaction, with a particular focus on innovative language acquisition. Her most impactful work addresses the unprecedented educational challenges in Kazakhstan, where the nation is transitioning from the Cyrillic to the Latin alphabet. CohenMiller’s major contribution is the development and empirical testing of the "CoWriting Kazakh" system, a groundbreaking platform where a social robot acts as a peer learner to help children master the new script. Her highly cited 2020 study, "A Comparison of Social Robot to Tablet and Teacher in a New Script Learning Context" (51 citations), provides critical evidence on the effectiveness of robotic versus traditional teaching methods in this unique context. This work, along with her interdisciplinary synthesis in "Cognitive Learning and Robotics: Innovative Teaching for Inclusivity," demonstrates her ability to bridge technical robotics with pedagogical theory. CohenMiller’s research is not only academically rigorous but also directly addresses a real-world, large-scale societal need, positioning her as a key voice in the future of adaptive, technology-driven education.
