Jennifer Mankoff: I love to work with undergraduate and masters students and have mentored more than I can count. My mentorship always tries to include career advice as well as project advice, whether students are going on to research or not. Many students have gone on to careers in research, however, including some current faculty (Julie Kientz, Gary Hsieh, Ruth Wylie). There are at least 50 other students who are alumni of my group who are not currently listed on this page but who all made important contributions to my work over the years.

VISITING SCHOLARS

	Alex Chen:I am a Post-Doctoral Fellow at the Human-Computer Interaction Institute at Carnegie Mellon University. My research interests include User-Centred Design, Human Factors and Human Behaviour on the Web, and Web Accessibility. The focus of my research aims to improve the user experience and the accessibility of digital information for elderly and physically challenged users.
	Hongbo Ni:I’m a visiting scholar to CMU, and from NPU China. My research interests including: Health sensing and assessment, IoT and Smart home, Assisting Technology. Currently, I’m working on several healthcare projects related to prosthetic usage and chronic disease recognition.

PhD students

	Nikola Banovic: I am a PhD student working on developing new models of human routine behaviors that will inform the design and support smart agents that help people develop good routines. My most current projects include helping aggressive drivers improve their driving routine to become less aggressive, and helping students develop routines that help them balance their academic success and their health and wellbeing.
	Kirstin Early: I’m a fourth-year Ph.D. student in the Machine Learning Department, jointly advised by Jen Mankoff and Steve Fienberg. My research interests are, broadly, using computation to solve challenges in environmental sustainability and intelligently ordering questions in online surveys. I am currently working on utility (electricity and natural gas) prediction for EDigs, dynamic question ordering in surveys like the American Community Survey from the Census, and analyzing the effects of gender and authorship in CS/HCI publications.
	Dimeji Onafuwa (co-advised with Cameron Tonkinwise)
	Mark Baldwin (informal co-advisee, with Gillian Hayes)

Undergraduates

Duncan McIsaac: I’m a Senior studying Information Systems with a minor in HCI, graduating in the spring. I’m interested in full stack development, music, and coffee. My year-long honors thesis is to improve web accessibility. I’m researching how I can map web content to keys on a keyboard to communicate website structure to the visually impaired.

Research Interns

	Megan Hofmann: I’m an undergraduate researcher visiting from Colorado State University. My research focuses on the intersection of rapid prototyping technology and accessibility. Currently, my research is focused on using 3D printing technology to design complex, customized assistive devices, such as prosthetics and to build tools that make the design of these devices more accessibile to their users and to novice designers.
	Vikram Kamath: I am a web developer working. I work as a research assistant and contribute to EDigs and the Prosthetics study. I enjoy building applications and am learning about research.
	Nidhi Vyas: I am presently in my Junior year at DA-IICT, India and I work as a remote intern on project ‘eDigs’, mentored by Dr. Jennifer Mankoff at HCI. I was a programmer for building an application on Android and iOS SDK, and we successfully deployed it on both systems. Currently, I am mentored by Dr. Mankoff and am working independently as a researcher on a project called ‘SunScore’. I have found a method to give a lightweight estimate of the internal light level a room gets, compared to the external light level, just by looking at the Satellite and Street View of it provided by Google Earth.
	Gary Yang: Full-stack Developer, visualize data to help people solve problems.
