I’m so happy to share that I’ll be joining Tufts CS as an Assistant Professor in January 2026! 🥳 I’ll be recruiting PhD students this upcoming cycle, so keep an eye out for more info if you’re interested in accessibility, AI, and HCI! (1/2)
So sad to miss everyone at #ASSETS2025! I learned my lesson, next year I'm signing up on the day registration opens 😅

I owe many thanks to my advisor, mentors, collaborators, friends, and family that have supported me through my PhD. So grateful for the opportunities and looking forward to what’s ahead. For now, back to thesis writing 😄 (2/2)

Sad to miss #CHI2025 in person. @masooman.bsky.social will be presenting remotely on Wednesday, results from an interesting cross-level study with design students (pre- and post-genAI) and professionals to understand their different value systems and usage with respect to generative AI in design.
Excited to present my first paper at #CHI2025 advised by @harmankaur.bsky.social . We have uncovered a fascinating value system rift between designers, with experience levels shaping how they navigate creativity, ownership, and AI integration.

interesting paper from @isabel.li et al digging into what it means to “misuse” a creative tool – reminiscent in some ways of game studies work around “counterplay”, playing a game in ways it wasn’t “meant to be” played jingyi.me/static/misus...

My #CSUN talk is today! 2:20pm. You don't want to miss it. We'll be talking about our personalization + accessibility prototype for our data visualization research at @highcharts.bsky.social.

Takeaways? We built a really cool system + ran 2 research studies. We have loads of guidelines to share.
