Dimeji’s experience in design, research and consulting spans over a decade.
At CMU, his research in the field of social design focused on design’s impact on initializing maintaining and contributing to a commons by exploring how collaboration around tenancy as common property may amplify community strength in ways that contribute to societal transition to sustainable futures.
Full-stack Developer, visualize data to help people solve problems.
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.
Vikram Kamath as a Ph.D. candidate at the school of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon. I specialize in Human-Computer Interaction for Development (HCI4D). Prof. Amy Ogan and Prof. Tim Brown are his advisors. He works on building and evaluating low-cost technology to support teachers in low-resource contexts.
Previously, he was a web developer working at the Dean’s office at CMU. In his spare time, he worked as a Research Assistant and contributed to EDigs and the Prosthetics study.
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.
Now at Yahoo!; Graduated 2017
I’m a fifth-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 online surveys like the American Community Survey from the Census, and analyzing the effects of gender and authorship in CS/HCI publications.
Outside of research, I’m also involved with Women@SCS at CMU and volunteer with TechNights, a weekly program to introduce middle-school girls to the excitement of computer science through hands-on lessons and activities. Examples of sessions I helped to design and lead include recommender systems, parallelism, and signal processing.

Nikola is an alumnus of the group, as of 2018 an assistant professor in Computer Science at the University of Michigan. He did his PhD work under Jennifer Mankoff and Anind Dey, working on developing new models of human routine behaviors that will inform the design and support smart agents that help people develop good routines. His projects included 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.
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.
Alex Q. 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.
