The scheduled time can a bit tricky to make since it is during the workday - but I think it's an interesting topic (there is some bias obviously). You can find the details in the announcement email linked - see you there!

CMU SCS PhD, Paramedic Study tools for cognition, collaboration, and care. Topics: sensemaking/knowledge, teamwork, emergency medicine, orgs. HCI/HF/OBT/OR. Before: Google Research, Wikipedia, Amazon MTurk, UIUC, Techstars Chicago.
The scheduled time can a bit tricky to make since it is during the workday - but I think it's an interesting topic (there is some bias obviously). You can find the details in the announcement email linked - see you there!
The presentation will be later this week (Wednesday the 19th; 9am-12a ET). The main talk is about 45 minutes and will be starting roughly at 9:15am ET. It's streamed on Zoom, the link is in the announcement text.
This became a whirlwind adventure exploring an interdisciplinary foundation for studying and augmenting complex tasks at scale, and blended topics in Computer Science, Human-Computer Interaction, Cognitive Psychology, Organizational Behavioral Theory, and a bit of healthcare.
This is rough. Many tasks in knowledge work (think: a report) aren't micro-tasks; and involve a lot of context, don't have a set procedure, and don't have a right answer.
Today we have even more access to intelligent assistance (through AI) - how can we move forward?
The thesis is an intellectual journey inspired by some fun work I did on workflows at MTurk in 2016.
In short: we know how to do simple tasks at scale (think: image labeling), but move just a tad outside of micro-tasks and the situation gets out of hand very quickly. What then?
Hi folks,
I'll be presenting my PhD thesis ("AI-Mediated Distributed Sensemaking") at CMU later this week if you're interested in watching a PhD defense π (zoom link below; request access/DM): docs.google.com/document/d/1...
β¨Iβm on the academic job market β¨
Iβm a PhD candidate at @hcii.cmu.edu studying tech, labor, and resistance π©π»βπ»πͺπ½π₯
I research how workers and communities contest harmful sociotechnical systems and shape alternative futures through everyday resistance and collective action

EM/EMS seeing trauma make the list
In sunny San Diego for #NAEMSP2025!
George, Shaylin, and I will be presenting our work on RPM trauma triage at 5:30pm Thurs/Fri in the Research and QI session.
Big thanks to our mentors Dr. Fernandez and Dr. Kupas, and all the wonderful folks at ESO and PCRF!

Looking for ~your lab~ starter pack?
Look no further! If you're recruiting CS/HCI PhD students this year, add your positions here π
(supports bluesky posts and academic websites!)
(also, share with students, they seem to find it useful)

Ok here are some amazing Social Computing researchers (mostly post-phd for scope). They work on making platforms, like this one, better.

If you know someone applying to a CS PhD this year - make sure they know of grad app support programs!!
Free informal feedback (on statements, etc) from current PhD students before formally applying. Kinda new, but great stuff.
I track them here (2025):
www.andrewkuz.net/public/dashb...
This one's for PhD programs!
Hi folks,
If you're recruiting a PhD student (or know someone who is), Iβd love to add and boost your recruitment post!
This year, Iβve rewritten the tracker so we can collect all posts, even just a "Iβm taking a student this year" section on a personal website.

For any CS PhD applicants this year:
'Grad app support programs' give informal feedback (on statements, etc) from current PhD students before formally applying. Valuable stuff.
Made a non-twitter 2024 tracker. Feel free to share! +Reach out if one's missing. π

I've been wrestling with the gap between HCI curricula, which tend to focus on the design process, and the big theories and ideas that animate us in HCI. Here's a model that has started working well here for me here at Stanford: medium.com/@msbernst/te...
