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.

Kirstin Early (co-advised with Steven E. Feinberg)
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 Banovic (PhD, co-advised with Anind Dey)
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.

Sophie Smith
I go to school at Rhodes College in Memphis, TN. I am a rising junior there and I am majoring in Computer Science. I plan to graduate in May 2019 with a Bachelor of Science.
This summer’s mission: Completing an interface for our knitting machine that will allow the user to manipulate textures and sizing of a sweater
Lindsay Zadunayski (REU Summer 2017)
I am a junior at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute planning to graduate in May 2019. I am pursuing a dual major in Computer Science and Mathematics in the School of Science. This summer I am participating in CRA-W’s Distributed Research Experience for Undergraduates (DREU). You can contact me at zadunl@rpi.edu
This summer I am working with Professor Jen Mankoff (CMU), Professor Kaite Siek (Indiana University), and Ujjwai Baskota(Jackson State University) to investigate online reviews for Ob/Gyns and Urologists. We are hoping to discover how they reflect the patient experience, and how satisfaction and language use change based on a variety of factors. To do so we are using Google reviews and federal datasets.
Aarudra Moudgalya
Aarudra Moudgalya is a Graduate Mechanical Engineer from CMU who’s interested in designing and manufacturing for assistive technology. His creativity is focused towards making affordable prosthetics and exoskeletons using rapid prototyping techniques. Aarudra is currently working on designing modular upper limb prostheses at the Human Computer Interaction Institute. He enjoys DIY projects, making music and doodling.
Christian Koehler
Christian Koehler is a Principal UX Data Scientist at Oracle Design. He is passionate about the intersection where Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Human Computer Interaction (HCI) meet and interested in how insights derived from users and users’ data can empower the development of AI to build human-centric technology.
He has experience in a number of different areas from Data Science, over Applied Machine learning to Survey design and interview studies. He develops deep learning algorithms and analyzes large scale data to derive descriptive and inferential statistics. He is familiar with both quantitative and qualitative methods and believes the best technology is being build with the user in mind from the ground up.
His thesis was titled “Indoor Location Prediction through Modeling of Human Spatiotemporal Behavior”
He received his PhD from Carnegie Mellon, where he was advised by Jennifer Mankoff and Anind Dey.
