We’re overwhelmed by the response to ASSETS 2025; this will be the largest ASSETS yet! We must limit new in-person registrations. Please sign up on our waitlist in case spots open up forms.gle/a9H5WpzVqn2hzN…. Virtual reg is still available. More details: assets-conference.github.io/assets2025/upd….

I’m so happy to share that I’ll be joining @TuftsUniversity @TuftsCS as an Assistant Professor in January 2026! 🥳 I’ll be recruiting PhD students this upcoming cycle, so keep an eye out for more info if you’re interested in accessibility, AI, and HCI! (1/2)
