New lab alert ‼️🚨 I’m looking for PhD students who are passionate about creating assistive technologies and human-centered AI tools to join my research group at Tufts CS! I'm starting the Tufts AI, Design, and Accessibility Lab (TADA!) in January 2026 🥳 (1/4)

We’re studying how people build or run multi-agent AI workflows — from LangGraph to n8n to running multiple ChatGPT tabs in parallel. 30-min Zoom interview · 💰$50 CAD or equivalent If you’ve built multi-agent /run multiple AI tools in parallel, sign up: forms.gle/qsjtN8reUopsMa…

@yino_yang @gezhang001 @AprilWang95 Congrats Yinuo!

My undergraduate thesis paper SPARK just got the Honorable Mention Award in #vlhcc25! 🥳 Thanks for my supervisors @gezhang001, @AprilWang95 and Steve! If you are interested in it, check it here inonnno.github.io/Academic-proje…! 👈

We got Honorable Mention Award at VL/HCC! Check out SPARK, an interactive system for monitoring students' coding progress in multi-faceted, non-linear programming problems.

@QiaoJin5 Congrats Georgie.

Proud advisor moment: my students' work of using AI agent to support pair programming earned Best Short Paper Honorable Mention! #VLHCC2025 🎉

@sangho_suh @allen_ai Congrats Sangho! Wish you the best at AI2.

🎉 Excited to share that I’ll be joining the Allen Institute for AI (@allen_ai) as a 🔬 Research Scientist this 🗓️ September ! 🙏 Many thanks to my mentors, collaborators, and friends for their support and 👋 looking forward to meeting old and new friends in ⛰️ Seattle!

@MaiYangAI Thank you Mai!

@HCI_Prof_YC cool topic！

Should programming students take notes/just watch/type along during live coding lectures? Danny Manesh (tinyurl.com/hkjpymxp) will present his ICER paper on Monday at 915am (EST) to showcase a new live-coding note-taking system that reduces students’ mental load while still enabling them to interact with and explore the instructor’s code. Congrats to the lead PI @snaglee2401 and amazing student co-author @tongw_wu p: tinyurl.com/msdw57ek

@plopesresearch Thanks Pedro!

@HCI_Prof_YC Lovely topic, excited to read this

CHOIR = Chat-based Helper for Organizational Intelligence Repository It answers students' questions based on your lab handbook and updates the doc by learning from your conversations. See CHOIR in action: youtu.be/gPdVIjzLKd4 CHOIR is developed by @leesang627. (2/3)

@jiaxin_pei @UTiSchool Wow! Congrats Jiaxin!

Life Update: I will join @UTiSchool as an Assistant Professor in Fall 2026 and will continue my work on LLM, HCI, and Computational Social Science. I'm building a new lab on Human-Centered AI Systems and will be hiring PhD students in the coming cycle!

@yalong_yang @ICatGT @gtcomputing @NSF Congrats Yalong! Very interesting proposal.

Our very own IVI.Lab @ICatGT @gtcomputing received the prestigious @NSF CAREER award to build the future of immersive analytics and spatial computing (VR/AR)! Super grateful & endless thanks to my students, mentors & collaborators! Interested in working together? Let's chat! 🥽

@zhangchaodesign I know one: hayatpur.dev/papers/crossco…

HCI folks -- are there any system papers that use lightweight content analysis of online forum posts/comments (e.g., Reddit) as a formative study to inform the design goals of interactive systems?

@dakuowang @Northeastern Congrats Prof. Wang!

Tenured at @Northeastern ! 🎉 Endless thanks to my mentors, collaborators, students, colleagues, and friends, couldn’t have done it without you. ❤️ Excited for what’s ahead. Collaboration Matters.

@AnhongGuo @TuftsUniversity Congrats Anhong!

Excited for Jaylin to join Tufts Computer Science @TuftsUniversity for her next chapter, continuing the important work on Accessibility, Design and AI! I've been lucky to work with her — congratulations!🎉🎉🎉

@xuwanghci Congrats Xu!

Excited to receive an NSF CAREER award, feeling really lucky!! This grant will support our lab's work on human-AI collaborative techniques to create intelligent tutors, and methods to help experts express expertise with simulated students.

@evanthebouncy Congrats

I've recently started my job as an asst professor at NTU, Singapore. If you are ever in town come say hi :)

@MajeedKazemi @UAlberta @AmiiThinks Congrats Majeed! That's exciting news!

Excited to share that I'll be joining the CS department at @UAlberta as an Assistant Professor in January 2026 where I will be affiliated with @AmiiThinks. I'll be recruiting 2-3 PhD/MSc students and establishing a research lab on AI in Education and Human–AI Interaction.
