Draft:Emily S Cross
Emily S. Cross (born 1979)[1] is a cognitive neuroscientist with a professorship at ETH Zürich and a dancer.[2]
Neuroscience
[edit]Since April 2023, Emily S. Cross has been a full professor of cognitive and social neuroscience at ETH Zurich. She leads the Social Brain Sciences (SBS) team and is jointly responsible for the Social Brain in Action Laboratory.[3] Her work and research focuses on how different experiences shape the way we learn about and perceive others in a complex social world. In her research, she uses complex action-learning paradigms (often involving dance, acrobatics, and music), social interaction manipulations, and robots in combination with neuroimaging and brain stimulation. She thus explores how brains and behaviors are shaped across the lifespan and across cultures.
Life and achievements
[edit]From 1997 to 2001, Emily S. Cross studied psychology and dance at Pomona College in Claremont, California. From 2002 to 2003, she earned her Master's degree in Cognitive Psychology at the University of Otago, New Zealand. She then completed her Ph.D. in Cognitive Neuroscience at Dartmouth College in Hanover from 2003 to 2008. She has worked as a professor at numerous locations, including from 2022 to 2023 at Western Sydney University for Human Neuroscience and Social Robotics, from 2020 to 2022 at Macquarie University in Sydney, and from 2017 to 2020 as a Professor of Social Robotics at the University of Glasgow in Scotland.
Awards
[edit]Emily S. Cross’s work has been published in a variety of high-profile publications (e.g., Trends in Cognitive Sciences, Cognition, Journal of Neuroscience[4], International Journal of Social Robotics, Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society[5]) and has been supported by a number of national and international funders, including the Fulbright Commission, the European Research Council (ERC), the ESRC Future Research Leaders Award, the ESPRC Engineering & Physical Sciences Research Council, the NIH National Institutes of Health, and the Ministry of Defence in the United Kingdom.
In addition, Cross has received numerous awards for her contributions to the interdisciplinary study of learning and the brain, including the Philip Leverhulme Prize for Psychology, the Jacob Bronowski Award from the British Science Foundation, and a Young Talent Award from the Dutch Neuroscience Society. Most recently, her contributions to social robotics were recognized with her inclusion in RoboHub and Insight Analytics' annual lists of the best women in robotics. In 2022, she was selected as one of Australia's Superstars of STEM.
