I am actively seeking European academic postdoc positions which start in 2027!

Would love to discuss opportunities at HRI 2026, over Linkedin, or at my email address found on my publications!

Hello! I am Gregory LeMasurier, a PhD candidate in the Human-Robot Interaction Lab at the University of Massachusetts Lowell. My current research revolves around generating explanations of robot failures for robot novices. Throughout my years as an undergraduate and graduate student in the HRI lab, I have had the pleasure to work on a variety of different projects, which can be found on my research page.
