Team
We are currently supported by the following undergraduate and graduate students:
- Macarena Peralta
- Ava Pardo-Keegan
- Mansanjam Kaur
- Isabel Torok
- Arnav Reddy
Note: We will be recruiting new PhD students in Fall 2024. We will have three focus areas in XR (with good overlap): accessibility, generative AI, and embodied AI. Within those areas, we are particularly interested in students that enjoy building and studying new interactive systems, and ask critical questions about the role and use of XR and AI. We expect significant experience with XR technologies and the ability to prototype new visions of future XR interfaces with passion.
