About

Latifah ALhwiseen is a researcher whose work sits at the intersection of educational technology, social robotics, and child welfare. Her primary research focus is on leveraging autonomous systems to address pressing social challenges, most notably bullying in school environments. In her highly cited 2020 paper, "Robot Framework for Anti-Bullying in Saudi Schools," she proposed a novel robotic intervention designed to detect, mediate, and reduce bullying incidents in Saudi public schools—a context where this phenomenon remains a significant concern despite global awareness. This work, which has garnered 6 citations, represents a pioneering effort to apply human-robot interaction principles to real-world educational settings in the Middle East. By integrating behavioral detection algorithms with socially assistive robotics, ALhwiseen’s framework offers a scalable, culturally sensitive tool for fostering safer school climates. Her research contributes to the growing field of socially assistive robotics and demonstrates how technology can be harnessed not just for learning, but for protecting students’ emotional and psychological well-being. ALhwiseen’s work is a compelling example of applied, impact-driven research that bridges engineering, education, and social science.
