Collaborate with my Lab

We study how AI reshapes professional work and design human-centered systems that strengthen judgment, develop expertise, and preserve agency and accountability. See our Research ↗. We primarily submit to these venues ↗.

Interested in shaping the future of work in an interdisciplinary team? We welcome students and collaborators with backgrounds in HCI and AI, informatics, computer science, psychology, communication, education, or art and design.

Applicants should be highly motivated and have a strong interest in interdisciplinary research aligned with the lab’s overall goals and at least one of our recent projects.
