Hello! I am a Masters student in the school of Electrical & Computer Engineering.
I am broadly interested in Technology, the world and philosophy. Although my specific research interests are still maturing, HCI and AI are the fields that captivate me currently.
Ben is an incoming second-year undergraduate at the University of Washington, majoring in computer science. He has prior programming experience in mobile development, machine learning, and data visualization. He is excited to learn more about data science and how it can be used to inform decisions for everyday life. In the near future, he also hopes to dive into computer vision and databases. His outside interests include playing and watching basketball, listening to music, and running. He will be working on analyzing the associations between various student groups’ behavior, academics, and well-being.
Dhruv is a freshman at the University of Washington studying Computer Science. In the past, he has began to build a coding expertise in full-stack development and data analytics. He hopes to delve more in the latter through strengthening his Machine Learning skills and utilizing them in meaningful real-world applications, with an emphasis on tackling accessibility. Outside of Computer Science, he maintains an active lifestyle – enjoying weight lifting, playing soccer, and running. Currently, he is working on the Academic Performance Prediction project here at the Make4All Lab.
Hello! My name is Emma and I’m a third year computer science major at UW. My hobbies include crocheting and trying out new foods. I love talking to other people so feel free to reach out anytime!
Zelin is a first-year Master’s student majoring in Mechanical Engineering with Data Science at the University of Washington. He completed his bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering at Colorado State University where he also engaged in research in the field of manufacturing high-performance polymers by 3D printing and robotics.
His current research, led by Momona, focuses on modeling and enhancing biosignals-based human-machine interaction to support accessibility and health. He presently works on data collection and analysis of biosignals.
Evan is an undergraduate at University of Washington, majoring in Computer Science. He is passionate about computer graphics and the huge potential of combining graphical programming techniques with fabrication such as 3D printing, machine embroidery, and so on. In the meantime, he is also a member of the UW Reality Lab. He learned advanced knowledge on how to design interactive, efficient, and accessible applications that run in virtual reality, but he also wants to make them physically touchable and perceivable and bring those models to real life. Since started discovering the vast potential in computer fabrication, he has decided to become a part of the pioneers in this field and contribute to the goal of making designs for everybody.
Christina Zhang is a senior at University of Washington, majoring in Computer Science and Informatics, her research interests are mainly HCI, mHealth, behavioral health, accessibility and social computing.
Her current work involves supporting early identification of mental health issues in adolescents, and software-based solutions to accessible communication in higher education.
In the past, she has worked on a research project that studies how online tests could be leveraged to bridge the gap in the support system of people with cognitive and mental disabilities, the paper she co-authored won the Best Paper Award on ASSETS 2021.
Yunqi (George) Wang is a senior at the University of Washington majoring in Computer Science and Mathematics. He is passionate about making technology more inclusive and considers humans as the primary factor when it comes to design practice. He is currently working on an EMG gesture project for people with disability to have better access to electronic devices.
Ellie is an undergraduate at Grinnell College in Grinnell, Iowa double majoring in Computer Science and Sociology. There, she works for Disability Resources creating community engagement content, building a new user-friendly website, and ensuring PDF compatibility with screen readers. Her interest in accessibility issues began here and was furthered by projects in her introductory computer science coursework. She is interested in human-computer interaction and hopes to use the intersection of both her degrees to work to use computing ethically in ways that promote accessibility and improve the human experience rather than exploit it.
She is working with Make4All during the summer of 2022 through the DUB REU and is affiliated with AccessComputing. She will be working on the machine embroidery project.
Tongyan is a first-year Master’s student at UW majoring in Industrial & Systems Engineering. She graduated from Peking University with a B. Eng. in Materials Science & Engineering in 2021, where she also engaged in research in the field of Operations Research focusing on the optimization of the emergency food system.
She has been deeply attracted to the field of accessibility since discovering it. She is passionate about promoting technology accessibility and hopes to utilize her interdisciplinary background to better serve the goal. Currently, she is working on the machine embroidery project at the lab.
