Had a lot of fun visiting @columbiahci last week! Cross country flight with 5 month old, not so much 😅
🦁💙 updates: im now organizing the HCI seminars for @columbiahci & looking for guest speakers :) if u do exciting HCI research & ever around in NYC 🗽, LET US KNOW!!! we have few opening this year but we'd love to keep ur names for next year! details🔗 columbiahci.github.io/#semin…

Gotta celebrate the wins! @DrKGLockwood
A few years ago @DrKGLockwood shared with our summer interns at EHP Lab a piece of advice for grad school that I’ve been sharing with people to this day. “Celebrate the wins” 🎉 has resonated with so many people, thank you Kimberly!

So much fun to have our design scholars presenting their 10week summer projects in person this year! Learn more about the program here: jacobsinstitute.berkeley.edu…
Excellent work from Holly and Megane @JacobsDesignCal summer showcase! I enjoyed working with them both as part of the summer design scholars program. #designresearch #undergradresearch

We built a prototype interface that allowed engineering designers to discover inspiring examples across lots of representations (e.g., text descriptions, 3D models, etc.) and then studied their exploration behavior while interacting with the platform. Lots of followup ideas :)

I won't spoil the paper, but the experience really increased my excitement about future opportunities to bring together mechanical design, human computer interaction, and human cognition.
