Human Centered Design and Engineering University of Washington in United States

I’m recruiting 2-3 PhD students for Fall 2025 Human Centered Design and Engineering at the University of Washington (https://lnkd.in/gsC4s9sS). **Apply by Dec 2!**Students will work on NSF-funded Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Design projects in one more of the following areas:1. IoT/smart product design with a focus on trust, control, surveillance, and/or other ethical considerations with multi-user interactions of sensing and AI-driven devices. Methods include prototyping, speculative design, design probes, and user studies. 2. Human-AI Interaction including the development of new interaction design patterns, experimental/speculative prototypes, and theoretical investigations of AI/ML as a design material.3. Co-design, service design, and policy design applied to complex large-scale challenges, such as privacy, research security, and international collaboration. I’m particularly looking for students with strong writing/analytic skills and design/making skills. An interest in interdisciplinary research is a plus—including philosophy, art, computer science, science and technology studies (STS), and all sub-disciplines of design (UX/UI, industrial, visual, architectural, etc.).…more
