Come on a tour of our #CHI2025 papers: where you can see me demonstrating our new four devices: a novel sensory substitution for the blind, an adaptive skill-acquisition with muscle stimulation, powering devices when you touch them, and PCB recycling! 1/5.

Here's an essay I wrote a while back arguing that there's significant new discoveries at the interface between Human-Computer Interaction (#HCI) and #Neuroscience : and that's why I am organizing a meeting with 20+ minds, starting tomorrow (in japan)!

Spot on critique for any #UX interface designers / folks thinking of automating with #AI. On our recent paper "seeing with hands" (led by blind author Gene Kim) we make the same argument about letting AI not choose the object of interest = preserve agency!

Thought piece at @CACMmag about computational ideas for recycling e-waste by my PhD student Jasmine Lu (@xjasminelu). We explore how recycling could take new forms assisted by algorithms, human-computer interfaces (#hci) and could be applied to more of the #computing / #AI stack!.

"Full Stack Recycling Approaches for Computing Devices" by @xjasminelu (@UChicago) and @plopesresearch (@UChicagoCS), considers methods that assist with recycling each layer of an #electronic device rather than the entire device at its end-of-life.
