Lab for Informatics for Human Flourishing


  • Our lab members are passionate about developing data-enabled human-centered technology and systems for Personalized and Persistent and Practical Support for Human Flourishing.

  • We work closely with domain experts to tackle the challenging practical data-driven problems arising from the fundamental human desire to live well - to flourish. This often requires us to take a humbling view of the complexity of human beings and the limitation of data and technology.

  • We, as a community of life-long learners, support each other to flourish.
