14 million adults in the US are practicing dangerous drinking habits. How can we promote safe drinking practices just in time? Researchers at Cornell Tech are trying to detect bodily reactions to alcohol using wearable devices. Sign up for our study here: bit.ly/cvgt_signup

Glad to share that I will join Stanford University to pursue CS Ph.D. this fall! Grateful for all the support during this application process. I look forward to the coming years Stanford Human-Computer Interaction Group! Special thanks to my advisor, the one and only Pedro Lopes, and the HCI family UChicagoCS.

Yay!! Congrats @JunNishidaLab ㊗️

so glad to see our work on softness illusion at uist last year is making its way to an actual class👀 check out more here lab.plopes.org/#altersoftness

How can we prevent breaks in immersion while in VR? Our #uist2022 work Pedro Lopes UChicagoCS explored a new concept, in which we "integrate" real-world distractions (e.g., noises, accidental touch, smell) into virtual reality. Learn more here at lab.plopes.org/#vr-distraction!

Our department mourns the loss of its founder, Dr. Frederick P. Brooks, Jr., a pioneer in computer science and recipient of the A.M. Turing Award, National Medal of Technology & numerous others. He was kind, humble & a friend and mentor to all. go.unc.edu/o2QKd

Thank you so much, Mar! I feel so grateful to work with you over the past summer. Thanks for being such an amazing mentor! Stay tuned to our new work coming up at #CHI2023!

I’m co-chairing visit days for Stanford CS this year again! 🎉🥳 This year we (lindsay popowski, Yujie Tao, Swapnil Gandhi ) wanted to create a code of conduct for the in-person weekend! Does your department already do this? Advice, resources, and RTs appreciated 🙏

It was a blast working with Yiran Zhao | 赵祎然 to investigate how affective touch could mitigate in-the-moment anxiety as a wearable intervention. Thanks to all collaborators and advisors of this work tanzeem Pedro Lopes. Learn more our #Ubicomp2023 paper: doi.org/10.1145/3569484

🏅Our work won Honorable Mention Award at #CHI2023! Microsoft Research Stanford Human-Computer Interaction Group  With Dr. Mar Gonzalez-Franco Eyal Ofek Eric Wang and Andy Wilson, we explored the duality of preserving realism in avatar motion and inducing a sense of embodiment in VR.  Learn more: hci.st/embodiedPhysics
