Han is a PhD student in the Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science & Engineering. She is advised by Prof Jennifer Mankoff (Computer Science) and Prof Anind K. Dey (Information School).
Her research is human-centered, focusing on understanding human behaviors and designing AI systems that promote well-being, accessibility, and learning. For more details, please visit her personal website.
Daniel is a first-year PhD student in the Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science and Engineering. He is advised by Drs. Jennifer Mankoff (Computer Science) and Jeffrey Lipton (Mechanical Engineering). He graduated from Texas A&M University with a BS in Electrical Engineering (2012) and an MS in Electrical Engineering from Georgia Tech (2016) and afterwards worked at Texas Instruments Kilby Research Labs (2016-2019).
Daniel’s research interests lie at the intersection of inverse design, additive manufacturing, and accessibility of fabrication. His prior work focused on industrial scale additive manufacturing applications; however, he has since turned his focus toward software solutions to enable the design of intricate digital models with minimal effort.
Taylor is a second-year PhD student in the Paul G Allen School of Computer Science and Engineering. She is advised by Professor Jennifer Mankoff. In 2017, she graduated from the University of California, Santa Cruz with bachelor’s degrees in Computer Engineering and Cognitive Science. She then earned her Masters in Human Computer Interaction from Rochester Institute of Technology in 2019.
Her research interests focus on trying to make fabrication more accessible for people with disabilities. Her prior research explored how to make the e-textile circuit development process more accessible for adults with intellectual disabilities. Her recent projects focus on understanding the kinds of difficulties that people with disabilities face while knitting, and developing technologies to help users overcome some of these difficulties.
I am an Assistant Professor on Human Computer Interaction at George Mason University where I lead the Human-Centric Design Lab. In the Fall 2019, I am a visiting scholar at the University of Washington’s Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science and Engineering. My research interests involve the design and evaluation of smartwatch applications to assist young adults with neurodiverse conditions. More specifically, I focus on how wearable applications can assist neurodiverse individuals with self-regulation, executive functions and activities of daily living.
I am also interested on usable privacy for smart home devices, wearables, accessibility and mHealth.

Avery is a Phd Student in the Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Washington. They are advised by Prof. Jennifer Mankoff. They completed their bachelors in Computer Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2019, where Prof. Aditya Parameswaran and Prof. Karrie Karahalios advised them. They are an NSF Fellow and an ARCS Scholar.
Their research focuses on applying computer science to create or improve technologies that serve people with disabilities. Their current work focuses on 1) representation of people with disabilities in digital technologies like avatars and generative AI tools, and 2) how to support people with fluctuating access needs like neurodiverse people and people with chronic or mental health conditions.

Yash is an undergraduate student at the University of California, Berkeley. While at make4all lab, Yash worked under the mentorship of Prof. Jennifer Mankoff and Dr. Anat Caspi on the Urban Mobility project. He was responsible of recruiting participants with a diverse range of abilities, conducting contextual interviews, survey monitoring, data collection and data analysis for majority of the pool of participants. His time at the make4all lab taught him to be inclusive of the different abilities of people while designing and developing technology. Yash will be interested in taking up projects in the future that aim to develop universally accessible technologies.
Hi, I’m Minxuan Gao and I’m a senior in Tsinghua University majoring in Software Engineering. I’m always passionate about creating new and innovative way of people interacting with every day objects by seeing, touching, listening using data-driven methods. My research focus lies in Human Computer Interaction and I am currently working on the SPRITEs project.
I am a PhD student at the University of Washington’s Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science and Engineering. My current research is focused on human behavior modeling. More specifically, I model and study routine behaviors and the impact of external events on them in the context of wellbeing and mobility. I am also interested in end-user tools and interfaces to improve data collection, exploration, and analysis processes.
My past research spans from designing interfaces for end-user robot programming, to modeling human-object interactions in realistic videos, to studying affective haptic human-robot interaction for psychological enrichment.

Venkatesh Potluri is a Ph.D. student at the Paul G. Allen Center for Computer Science & Engineering at University of Washington. He is advised by Prof Jennifer Mankoff and Prof Jon Froehlich. Venkatesh believes that technology, when designed right, empowers everybody to fulfill their goals and aspirations. His broad research goals are to upgrade accessibility to the ever-changing ways of our interactions with technology, and, improve the independence and quality of life of people with disabilities. These goals stem from his personal experience as a researcher with a visual impairment. His research focus is to enable developers with visual impairments perform a variety of programming tasks efficiently. Previously, he was a Research Fellow at Microsoft Research India, where his team was responsible for building CodeTalk, an accessibility framework and a plugin for better IDE accessibility. Venkatesh earned a master’s degree in Computer Science at International Institute of Information Technology Hyderabad, where his research was on audio rendering of mathematical content.
