CSE - HCI Research with the MetoyerLab

Prof. Metoyer is looking for curious and motivated undergraduate students to participate in multiple research projects in the area of human-computer interaction.   Selected students will help us advance our work in the design, implementation, and evaluation of computational support in several challenging application areas:

  • Healthy Food Choice
  • Future of Social Services Work
  • Teaching and Learning with Generative AI

We are especially interested in students curious about human-centered design as well as those with expertise in leveraging AI models for human-AI collaboration tasks.   Projects typically involve opportunities to both build prototype systems and conduct original research around those systems (e.g., design and execute experiments). 

Students will be supervised by a combination of graduate students, postdocs, and Prof. Metoyer.   They will be expected to attend weekly research group meetings as well as weekly project-specific meetings.  Students should plan to commit 5-10 hrs/week (including meetings).

Name of research group, project, or lab
MetoyerLab
Why join this research group or lab?

We work on real-world problems with real community partners!  This makes the work somewhat messy and complex but fun and rewarding.  Our undegraduate research students get opportunities to work in many areas of the research pipeline ranging from literature reviews to software development to experiment design and data collection/analysis.
