Dr. Christine Laetitia Lisetti is an Associate Professor in the School of Computing and Information Sciences at Florida International University , (Florida USA), where she heads the Affective Social Computing Group.   She conducted her Post-Doctoral Fellowship at Stanford University (California, USA) jointly in the Department of Computer Science and the Department of Psychology from 1996 to 1998. She received her Bachelor of Science (B.S). in Computer Science cum laude, Master of Science (M.S.) in Computer Science, and Doctorate (Ph.D.) in Computer Science respectively in 1988, 1992, and 1995 from Florida International University (Florida, USA). She then thought at the Business School of the University of South Florida (Florida, USA) before joining the faculty of the Computer Science Department at the University of Central Florida (Florida, USA), where she is still a Research Associate Professor.  She was Professor in the Multimedia Communications Department at the Institut Eurécom(France) from 2003 to 2007. 

Christine Lisetti is interested in computational modeling of emotion and affective processes, with the overall goals to enhance human-computer interaction (HCI) and human-robot interaction (HRI) by developing socially and affectively intelligent artificial agents. She is the author of numerous scientific journal articles and a total of over 60 technical publications.

She has won multiple research awards, including the US National Institute of Health (NIH) Individual Research Award, the American Association for Artificial Intelligence (AAAI) Nils Nilsson Award and the AAAI Technical Innovation Award (jointly with Prof. Robin Murphy, Computer Science, USF), the Computing Research Association (CRA-W) Distributed Mentoring Affiliate Award, the University of Central Florida (UCF) College of Engineering and Computer Science Distinguished Research Lecturer Award, and more recently the European Commission (EC) Marie-Curie International Reintegration Fellowship.

In the United States, she was the Principal Investigator (PI) of multiple research grants, funded by US Federal Funding Agencies such as the National Institute of Health (NIH), the Office of Naval Research (ONR), the US Army Stricom Agency, NASA Ames , and by industrial companies such as Intel Corporation and Microsoft Interval Research Corporation.

In Europe, she is the Principal Investigator of research grants funded by the European Commission (EC), EUREKA Information Technology for European Advancement (ITEA), the Provence-Alpes Cote d'Azur (PACA) Regional R&D Program and ST MicroElectronics. She is a member of SIMILAR, the European Commission Network of Excellence (NoE) for Creating Human-Machine Interfaces SIMILAR to Human-Human Communication, and a guest member of HUMAINE , the European Commission Network of Excellence (NoE) on Research on Emotions and Human-Computer Interaction.

She is a member of the American Association for Artificial Intelligence (AAAI), of the International Society for Research on Emotion (ISRE), of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), and of the IEEE on Social Implications of Technology.
