About

Dr. Krasimira Tsaneva-Atanasova is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of biomedical engineering, computational psychiatry, and human-robot interaction. Her work focuses on developing novel, low-cost, and non-invasive diagnostic tools for neurological and psychiatric conditions. She is perhaps best known for her innovative approach to measuring luteinising hormone (LH) pulsatility using a robotic aptamer-enabled electrochemical reader (79 citations), a breakthrough that promises to transform the clinical diagnosis of reproductive disorders by replacing expensive, serial immunochemical tests. In the realm of psychiatry, Dr. Tsaneva-Atanasova has made significant contributions to understanding schizophrenia. Her research on "socio-motor biomarkers" (42 citations) uses a simple mirror-game task to identify movement-based diagnostic markers, while her work on human-robot interaction (30 citations) explores how social feedback from humanoid robots can improve social competences in patients. Most recently, she has advanced the use of immersive virtual reality for remotely assessing upper-limb function, offering a scalable, cost-effective alternative to bulky robotic systems. Her work consistently demonstrates a commitment to translating complex physiological and behavioral signals into accessible, real-world clinical tools.
