Feeling humbled and honored to receive the Best Paper Award of @ACM_CUI for this paper. I cannot thank my collaborators @ranhuang, @TheASPIREGrpOSU, @minjeongkim, and @apukapadia enough for their immense contribution to this work.

Please help spread the words!

Some personal news to share: Starting this July, I will be joining the Department of Computer Science at Johns Hopkins University (@JHUCompSci) as an Assistant Professor, with an affiliation at the new Data Science and AI Institute (@HopkinsDSAI ).

Working on my @ACM_CSCW paper 5 hours before the deadline and overleaf crashed?????

Delighted to be serving in the EuroUSEC 2025 programming committee again! Please consider submitting your valuable work on usable security and HCI Detail: #cfpapers" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">eurousec2025.cis.strath.ac.uk/#cfpapers Paper Registration deadline: May 5, 2025

Hi network, please help share this with any parents who might be interested in having their 14–17-year-old participate in a voice assistant interaction study! Thank you!

📢 Calling parents and guardians in the U.S.! We're researching how teens (ages 14-17) interact with voice assistants. If your teen is interested in participating in an interview, please complete the form below. Your input is invaluable! 🙌 tinyurl.com/IUstudysignup

Life update: Excited to share that I will be joining @CIS_Penn @PennEngineers as an Assistant Professor in Fall 2025!🤯 I’m also seeking multiple PhD students passionate about Generative Intelligence and leveraging it to empower AI agents to interact with the Physical World🌟

I hope reviewer 3 appreciates that I am coming into lab at 3:30am today to get a critical revision experiment time point 😴

Few thoughts after having finally written my @iclr_conf rebuttal post endless procrastination: 1. Many reviewers are "LLM-age" reviewers, who probably started research post the dawn of powerful LLMs. Even though your paper is more towards theory or maybe the 1st of its kind proposing/addressing a new problem, they always review the paper with an LLM lens. Prototypical question -- does xyz apply to LLMs? If not REJECT REJECT REJECT!!!! 2. "This doesn't apply to LLMs" has become a lazy way of rejecting papers in adversarial contexts such as paper reviewing. Are we only doing research relevant to LLMs now? 3. Working at the intersection of areas makes the job of convincing reviewers doubly hard. You have minimal control of which kind of reviewer your paper will end up with. With limited page limit you will either fall short even if you try to address different kinds of reviewers or bore at least one kind. 4. Can we as reviewers please leave some room for the possibility that we may have missed something in the paper or might be wrong? It infuriates me to see over-confident extremely stupid reviews. Probably I won't be friends with such people irl. 5. Writing rebuttals has not gotten any less frustrating for me personally. 6. As always, the scores are way harsher than the reviews themselves.

I am attending ACM CSCW 2024! If you’re also attending, I’d love to connect— whether it’s to chat about human-centered AI, or just say Hi! I am exploring job opportunities and I am looking forward to conversations about human-centered AI research and possible collaborations.

Personal update: After 8 amazing years in industry, I will join @UMichCSE in fall 2025. I look forward to putting more energy into mentoring, teaching, and collaborating across disciplines and organizations I will look for PhD students this cycle and a postdoc

Remember if you are new to reviewing for #chi2025. @sigchi and I released a series of best practice videos for how to write a good review: youtube.com/playlist?list=… The community also co-created an unofficial guide: nehakumar.medium.com/an-unofficial-…

I'm on the job market👀seeking TT-faculty and post-doc positions starting Fall 2025 to continue my research in family-centered design of socially interactive systems👀 I wrote a "blog" announcing this & my reflections on our latest RO-MAN'24 publication: linkedin.com/posts/bengisuc…

I'm recruiting a PhD student in HCI/social computing next year :) If you’re interested in designing & building collaborative human-AI systems for education, work, or communities, please apply! See this talk for a big picture view of our interests: youtube.com/watch?v=gZpzia…

Hi, I am seeking one student for PhD in 25 Fall. Anyone passionate about HCI research with a focus on HEALTH is welcome to apply and reach out. Please email me your CV and brief descriptions of your preferred research topics, with the subject [PhD Application]. #hci #PHD

It's always inspiring to be acknowledged for contributions to the community. I'm happy to receive recognition for my outstanding review of one full-track paper at #CSCW25. I look forward to helping many more papers find their home and the recognition they deserve.

@arissasatoj co-working/group sessions are the best! I will certainly try it out, thanks!

@SabidHabib I've tried various productivity tracking tools, but in the end I found co-working sessions or meeting (via Zoom or in-person) with colleagues who have similar deadlines works best for me! Would love to hear what works for others!

For those experienced in academic writing, what are some of the best tools for staying organized and tracking your progress, especially when working on projects like dissertations or books?

I am looking to hire two Ph.D. students this coming Fall 2025. If you have strong design/system-building skills and are interested in any of the following- -Privacy and security solutions for marginalized and underserved communities -Human-in-the-loop governance for LLMs -Usable security and privacy for Web3/DeFi I would be happy to chat if you are at @USENIXSecurity or drop me your CV.

@MattyD_IR @emmanicolwork @luileito @harmonicnumber @acmtochi Congratulations!

I am happy to share that our work with @luileito, Dr Bongard-Blanchy & @harmonicnumber has been accepted to @acmtochi. 🎊 We investigate how proactive interventions of a conversational agent impact users' reflection & choices in a decision-making task. dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.114…
