Very excited to share our #CHI2024 paper on the ✨Situate AI Guidebook✨, a toolkit designed in collaboration with public sector agencies & community advocacy groups, to scaffold early-stage deliberations around *whether or not* to move forward w/ developing a proposed AI tool🧵

Please join us in congratulating longtime staff member, Queenie Kravitz, on her retirement today. She started Carnegie Mellon University in 1993 and the HCII in 2004, and as graduate program coordinator certified our very first HCI PhD and master's degrees. Congrats, Queenie! #CMUhcii

At #UIST2024, I'm presenting two projects: 🎶〰️SonoHaptics and 🔊Auptimize! We tackle perceptual challenges in XR interactions (gaze-based object selection & audio localization) through multisensory feedback - without relying on visual displays. 🧵

I'm excited to share that I'll be joining UC Irvine as an Assistant Professor starting in Fall 2025! I'm looking forward to working with amazing colleagues and students to empower programmers using AI and HCI. Come join us—I’m recruiting students!

#CSCW24 🌱Come hear about our quantitative, empirical work studying the efficacy & techniques used in online support communities, "What Makes Digital Support Effective?" @ 2:30pm Tues. in "3b: Bridging Technology & Therapy". 👋🏻Would love to chat with folks there!

✨New short paper✨inviting those of us who work on participatory AI/ representational harm, to think more critically about whether improved AI models *actually benefit* marginalized groups.
