Carlos Tejada is a Research Scientist at the Center for Research and Education on Accessible Technology and Experiences (CREATE) at the University of Washington, where he investigates how to make computer-aided design (CAD) software more accessible to blind and low-vision users. His research sits at the intersection of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), accessibility, and digital fabrication, with a focus on reimagining traditional design tools to support inclusive making and broaden participation in fabrication technologies.
Carlos holds a PhD in Computer Science from the University of Copenhagen, where his dissertation introduced Print-and-Play Fabrication—a new fabrication paradigm for creating fully interactive 3D-printed objects that are ready to use immediately after printing. These objects sense, process, and respond to user interaction using only air-based mechanisms, without requiring electronics, assembly, or calibration. His work opens up new possibilities for accessible, low-barrier fabrication in education, prototyping, and beyond.
Jazette Johnson is a Postdoctoral Scholar at the University of Washington’s CREATE (Center for Research and Education on Accessible Technology and Experiences) working with Jen Mankoff. Her research sits at the intersection of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), accessibility, and health equity. She partners with disabled and historically marginalized communities to explore how technology, particularly generative AI and online platforms, can support inclusive health communication, build trust, and amplify community voice. Jazette’s work is deeply community-engaged, centering co-design, lived experience, and culturally responsive methods to inform the development of accessible, real-world solutions.
Grace is a third-year computer engineering and applied math student at the University of Washington. They are interested in applications of CS towards accessibility, fabrication, and artistic practices. In their free time, they enjoy reading about art history, going to the gym, and painting.
Currently, in the Make4All lab, they are excited to be working on the multi-axis 3D printing project!
Xiaoyi Wang is a third-year undergraduate studying Computer Science and Mathematics. She is passionate about Robotics, 3D printing, full-stack development, and mathematical modeling.
Sanjana Satagopan is a first-year student in computer science at the University of Washington. She has experience programming for various startups, including game development, AI, and full-stack dev. She is excited to learn more about sensors, robotics, and more, and is excited to be finding ways to use technology for accessibility research.
On the side she’s interested in environmentalism and loves tennis and music!
Stacy Hsueh is a postdoctoral researcher at UW’s Center for Research and Education on Accessible Technology and Experiences (CREATE), working with Jen Mankoff and Anat Caspi.
Her work uses critical theories to interrogate computing norms and employs design methods to explore disability-led design. Her current research focuses on understanding experiences of precarity in underserved communities and examining the role of technology plays in challenging or reinforcing structural inequities.
Miles is a third-year computer science undergraduate at the University of Washington. He is interested in new applications of generative AI, HCI, and programming languages. In his free time, he enjoys running and brunch with friends. Miles is currently working on the Accessible Flowcharts Project.
Runxin Shi is a third-year undergraduate studying Computer Science at the Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Washington. He is passionate about using modern technologies, such as wearable devices, to enhance accessibility and unlock new possibilities for people with disabilities. With experience in backend development, qualitative research, user research, and interaction design, Runxin takes a multidisciplinary approach to problem-solving. Beyond academics, he has a deep appreciation for art and enjoys visiting museums and creating interactive art installations in his free time.
Varun Narayanswamy is a student in the Master’s from Human Computer Interaction and Design (MHCI+D). His research interests include HCI, data visualization, frontend development, mobile development, and education technology.
Yusuf is a second-year undergraduate at the University of Washington majoring in Computer Science. He has prior experience with full stack web development and databases. He is interested in how generative AI can be used to improve accessibility. He is also interested in Machine Learning and Systems Programming. In his free time, he enjoys playing spikeball and watching football. Currently, he is working on the Text Simplification Project in the Make4All lab.
