Research Interests:
My work lies broadly at the intersection of HCI, interactive IR and cognitive psychology. The overarching goal is to use the implicit user data in personalization of interaction with information systems.
Current areas of focus include application of cognitive psychology and neuroscience to information seeking (IR and web navigation). The approach is to use rich user interaction logs, eye-tracking and psycho-physiological signals (such as EEG, GSR) to infer user’s states (e.g., cognitive load, affective states) and user’s reaction to information (e.g., decisions).
There are opportunities to :
* study information seeking behavior in novel ways;
* work on creating novel search and navigation interfaces;
* work with large psycho-physiological data sets and apply signal processing and machine learning techniques.
Worth noting: My university is just about an hour away from New York City.
