Laura Kohonen-Aho
D. Sc. (Tech)
Postdoctoral researcher

I work as a postdoctoral researcher (Academy of Finland, 2022–2025). In my research project ‘Beyond individual experiences towards social VR’ I explore the accomplishment of social and collaborative activities in virtual reality. I use video-based interaction analysis and conversation analysis to study the situational use of multimodal interactional resources in the production and ascription of social actions across VR settings.
