Guo Freeman (main contact) is an Associate Professor of Human-Centered Computing at Clemson University. Her work focuses on how interactive technologies such as multiplayer online games, esports, live streaming, and social VR shape interpersonal relationships and group behavior; and how to design safe, inclusive, and supportive social VR spaces to combat emergent harassment risks especially for marginalized users.

Julian Frommel is an Assistant Professor in Interaction/Multimedia at Utrecht University. He is interested in the design and implementation of interactive digital systems that provide enjoyable, meaningful, safe, and healthy experiences for users, including research on how to mitigate negative effects of toxicity and harassment in online games and other online spaces.

Regan L. Mandryk is a Professor of Computer Science at the University of Victoria, Canada. Her work focuses on how people of all ages use playful technologies for social, cognitive, and emotional wellbeing, how toxicity, discrimination, and harassment thwart the connection and recovery benefits provided by multiplayer games, and how we can design playful collaborative systems that benefit---not harm---player wellbeing

Jan Gugenheimer is an Assistant Professor at TU-Darmstadt and Telecom-Paris, working on HCI-related topics in the field of Extended Reality. His focus is on understanding how new unique properties of immersive technologies can be used to deceive and manipulate a user's actions and beliefs and how we have to design the technology to prevent such potential misuse. 

Lingyuan Li is a Postdoctoral Fellow in the School of Information at the University of Texas at Austin. She delves into the intricacies of mediated experiences shaped by emerging technologies such as social VR, digital peer-to-peer payments, human-centered AI, and live streaming, and how we can leverage AI to mitigate emergent personal harm and risks and design more inclusive, safer, and supportive online spaces.

Douglas Zytko is an Associate Professor in the College of Innovation & Technology at the University of Michigan-Flint. His research uses consent as a lens to understand and design mitigative solutions for sexual harm. Most relevant to this workshop, his work explores data donation of online dating sexual experiences as a human-centered approach to improving sexual risk detection AI.

Afsaneh Razi is an Assistant Professor at Drexel University's Information Science Department. Her research area is positioned at the intersection of HCI and AI to address socio-technical issues. Specifically, her work aims to address the critical and timely problem of online safety by leveraging a multi-disciplinary approach of human-centered AI to accurately detect risks vulnerable users encounter online and develop online safety interventions.
