About
Ilja Croijmans is a cognitive scientist whose research explores the intersection of olfaction, language, and social cognition, with a particular focus on how smells influence human behavior and communication. A key contribution is his investigation into the role of scent in trust dynamics, including pioneering work on whether odors like hexanal—known to enhance interpersonal trust—can extend to human–robot interaction. Although his 2022 study found no evidence for this effect, it opened critical questions about the boundaries of olfactory influence in technology-mediated contexts. Croijmans’ work bridges sensory psychology and human-computer interaction, often employing rigorous experimental designs to test assumptions about smell’s social power. His research has garnered attention for its innovative approach to understudied sensory modalities, with papers cited in interdisciplinary fields ranging from psycholinguistics to robotics. Beyond his published studies, Croijmans is recognized for advancing methodological standards in olfactory research, making him a notable voice in the growing domain of multisensory cognition.
