Intelligent Human-Machine Interaction

We at Intelligent Human Machine Interaction (IHMI) Lab aim to develop intelligent computing systems that can influence human behavior and improve the user experience. We focus on applying human-centric approaches and state-of-the-art AI models to design, develop, and evaluate these systems. We are always looking for motivated and hard-working students to work on the research problems related in the area of Human-Centered Computing.
