Focused on the design and evaluation of interactive computing systems for seamless and varied digital experiences.
Focused on the design and evaluation of interactive computing systems for seamless and varied digital experiences.
Our research investigates how technology influences user experiences, decision-making processes, and awareness of digital consequences. We develop human-centered metrics to model user experiences using a combination of predictive-computational methods, empirical performance metrics, self-reported scales, and behavioral metrics. Our work encompasses three principal domains: entertainment computing, human-centered AI, and human-system interactions in complex environments.
