Human-Computer Interaction

Our human-computer interaction (HCI) research explores how humans interact with technology and how to design systems that are effective, accessible, and engaging. This interdisciplinary area encompasses personalized and adaptive interfaces, information visualization, novel interaction technologies (e.g., haptics, augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR), multimodal systems), social computing, collaboration systems, and affective computing. Ultimately, we strive to enhance human capabilities, foster inclusive technology design, and advance fundamental understanding of how people engage with increasingly sophisticated computational systems.
