Projects recruiting students

Research assistants typically focus on contributing to one or two aspects of a project’s research activities, which may include iterative design (UX, prototyping), development (software programming, physical fabrication), data analysis (quantitative/statistical or qualitative), constituent engagement (conducting interviews, observational or ethnographic work), and running studies (user testing, lab experiments, online or survey studies, or field trials). RAs work closely with one or more graduate students in the lab. Our research style is collaborative and interdisciplinary, involving project members from computing, engineering, and other technical fields as well as the social sciences and humanities.
