Morphing Pasta tutorial is up, with downloadable stamping molds and links to where to print them. Some collaborators were able to successfully follow the tutorial. For non-commercial uses (e.g., research, class, STEM workshops), this is freely available! morphingmatterforgirls.org/courses/morphi…

Have you ever felt like your smart speaker is listening to you? Well, that’s because it is. In a recent paper, Professor Sauvik Das (Sauvik Das) of CMU Human-Computer Interaction Institute, CyLab and a team of researchers propose a new concept of "intentionally powered" #IoT microphones: cylab.cmu.edu/news/2023/12/2…

One of the coolest projects I had the privilege of working on with Youngwook Do What if your microphone could only be powered intentionally through your interactions with it? Paper: sauvikdas.com/papers/46/serve

New at #CSCW2024, we'll present the #Subversive #AI Acceptance Scale (SAIA-8), a robust scale to gauge user acceptance of AI-generated, anti-facial recognition image modifications (e.g., Fawkes, LowKey). Led by Jacob Logas! Paper: sauvikdas.com/papers/49/serve 🧵1/n

I was invited to give a talk on some of our ongoing work about AI privacy at CMU's "Current Topics in Privacy Seminar". You can watch the talk here! scs.hosted.panopto.com/Panopto/Pages/… I cover Hao-Ping (Hank) Lee's AI privacy taxonomy work, interviews with privacy practitioners, and more

My second ever Ph.D. student — dr. uc⁷ 👩🏻‍💻 —successfully defended her dissertation yesterday! Yuxi's dissertation work lays the groundwork for how we might think about privacy as a collective action problem. Some of her greatest hits:

We're hiring! The HCI & Visualization group at Autodesk Research is hiring for two Research Scientist positions at the intersection of HCI and AI. If interested, please apply (and reach out if you have questions). autodesk.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/Ext/job/Toront… (Autodesk Research)

🏆 Happy to share that #chi2024 recognized our research for a Best Paper award. We deconstructed health sensing for workers to guide new AI that will be worker-facing, -first, and -flexible. Many congratulations and thanks to Munmun De Choudhury, PhD Gregory D. Abowd Lan Gao🐦 AbhirupM !!!

🏆 Our #CHI2024 Best Paper 🏆 How does AI change privacy risk, if at all? We present 12 privacy risks that AI technologies either newly created or exacerbated. Visit AIPrivacyTaxonomy.com to learn more! 📝Paper: hankhplee.com/papers/chi24_p…

Excited to share our new CSCW paper! How can we enhance human-centeredness in mental health AI research? Our study delves into an NIH-funded mental health AI project, focusing on the collaboration between interdisciplinary researchers and patients. dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/36…

I am also seeking students at all levels (PhD, Postdocs, interns, undergraduates) for the upcoming 2025 admission cycle. If you are interested in topics such as sustainability, energy harvesting, printed electronics, fabrication, or embedded systems, please contact me.

Excited to announce I'm graduating with a PhD from Allen School soon & seeking research roles in the industry! 🎓 My work spans novel sensing and ML for healthcare and interaction🩺💻⌚️ Check out my portfolio: anandghan.in 📁 Know of opportunities? Let's connect! 🤝

So proud! Amazing work!

We are thrilled to announce that our very own Dr. Nivedita Arora has won the ACM Doctoral Dissertation Award! We couldn’t be more proud and excited to see her innovative research recognized at such a high level! #ACMAwards #Innovation #SustainableTech

Congratulations to Professor Sauvik Das (Sauvik Das) of CyLab, CMU Human-Computer Interaction Institute on winning a Distinguished Paper Award at last week’s USENIX Security Symposium in Philadelphia! See the abstract and full details of his co-authored, award-winning paper: usenix.org/conference/use… #usesec24

🪃 I'm on the academic job market! I study digital applications for work, focusing on mental well-being + social dynamics. My work merges AI, sensing, informatics, and organizational science to help workers work differently. Pls bump and keep an eye out: vedantswain.com

The OG SPUD lab! (circa 2021) Featuring Youngwook Do dr. uc⁷ 👩🏻‍💻 and Hao-Ping (Hank) Lee

We built Purpose Mode when I interned Brave. The tool reduces users’ distraction on social media websites by suppressing dark patterns like infinite scroll. Try Purpose Mode: github.com/hankhplee/purp… Video demo: youtu.be/AWY8HQ_z_-c?si… Stay tuned for the upcoming TOCHI paper!

really happy to share that 3DALL-E, a research idea I began at Autodesk Research as an intern is now in Autodesk Fusion 360 as Project Salvador (thank you to Jo Vermeulen, Justin Matejka for realizing it in the product). You can generate images to use as blueprints for 3D models!
