Super excited to be part and collaborate with the amazing set of colleagues at BBI. There is so much potential when we combine deep understanding of the brain with novel computing paradigms to bring that knowledge into the wild for the benefit of society.

Many thanks to Daniel McDuff from Google Research for giving an amazing guest lecture on "Affective Sensing for Interfaces that Promote Health and Wellbeing" in my "Behavior Change and Affective Computing" grad class at UMD Department of Computer Science UMIACS

Thanks so much Eun Kyoung Choe for your sharing your wonderful research "Towards Inclusive and Accessible Self-Tracking" in my "Behavior Change and Affective Computing" class at UMD Department of Computer Science UMIACS

Thanks so much, Jean Costa from Toyota Research Institute (TRI) for your super cool talk "Mobile Technologies for Implicit Self-regulation" in my "Behavior Change and Affective Computing" class ar UMD Department of Computer Science UMIACS. Many novel ideas on how to interface computing with human interoception.

Yet another great talk today in my "Behavior Change and Affective Computing" class UMD Department of Computer Science UMIACS today! Thanks so much Javier Hernandez from Microsoft Research talking about "Towards Empathetic Closed-loop Systems" and how to apply them to video conference, cars, hospitals, and more.

Thanks so much to Mark Cullen (retired Stanford Med School) for sharing his expert view on how Translational Research in Medicine has gone "all digital" in my Behavior Change and Affective Computing Class at UMD Department of Computer Science UMIACS

Our paper on Shared Autonomy to reduce sedentarism among sit-stand desk users is out: dx.doi.org/10.2196/35447 Interesting cultural & gender differences on the way people may embrace automated health sustaining systems. Co-authors Stanford Medicine UMD Department of Computer Science Univ. of Delaware & Simon Fraser University

Thanks so much Sean Follmer Stanford Human-Computer Interaction Group Stanford d.school for your super stimulating talk on Tangible Affective Displays, as part of my Behavior Change and Affective Computing Course UMD Department of Computer Science UMIACS

Happy to share my latest TEDx talk in Discomfort by Design: youtu.be/y96jRdVFcSw In a world where technology is built mostly to alleviate discomfort, maybe what we need is to embrace discomfort as a design feature to help us grow and develop resilience.

Excited to have received news that our paper comparing self-proposed & machine-recommended stress interventions w/ online workers (via our Home Sweet Office plugin) was accepted to #CHI2023. It's been great working w/ Xin Tong, Pablo Paredes, and others on this #HCI project.

Turns out people have good ideas to manage their own stress at work... machines can further support if needed. Proud to have our paper contrasting self-proposed and AI-recommended interventions accepted to #CHI2023. Congrats to my former postdocs Xin Tong, Matthew Louis Mauriello, et al.

Excited to be participating tomorrow in an interesting panel about Biometrics Regulation organized by the Berkeley Center for Law & Technology... You can register and attend here: law.berkeley.edu/research/bclt/…

Super proud to witness my mother receiving a just recognition for her pioneer academic career as the creator of the Gender Studies major at Revista IURIS m.facebook.com/media/set/?set…

Proud to see my former postdoc Xin Tong present our #CHI2023 paper "Just Do Something: comparing Self-Proposed with AI-recommended stress interventions...", showing efficacy for both cases. Great collaboration with colleagues from UMD Department of Computer Science Stanford Medicine Univ. of Delaware & Duke Kunshan University

Really proud of being part of this new National AI R&D center funded by U.S. National Science Foundation, covering an important need in our society trails.umd.edu

Thanks Toyota Research Institute (TRI) for supporting me to be at #CHI2024 to present my former multidisciplinary work in collaboration with multiple departments Stanford University USC UMD Department of Computer Science Univ. of Delaware and colleagues across various other universities: programs.sigchi.org/chi/2024/progr…

Happy to complete a cycle of collab. with Zhenan Bao, Yasser Khan, Matthew Louis Mauriello, Leanne Williams, PhD, and many great researchers from Stanford University, Stanford Medicine, Stanford HAI, USC, UMD Department of Computer Science, Univ. of Delaware, SIU Medicine ... Thanks to Toyota Research Institute (TRI) for their support to present it at #CHI2024
