Happy to complete a cycle of collab. with @zhenanbao, @KhanLabUSC, @mattm401, @LMWilliams_PhD, and many great researchers from @Stanford, @StanfordMed, @StanfordHAI, @USC, @umdcs, @UDelaware, @siusom ... Thanks to @ToyotaResearch for their support to present it at #CHI2024
.@pabloeparedes rocking our "On Stress" presentation in this morning's Mental Health and Wellbeing session at #Chi2024 #hci #sensing #wearables #stress
@elonmusk my @Tesla model 3 burned down b a piece of metal uncleaned by @CitySanLeandro, sliced the battery. I got no warnings and escaped after a passerby told me. @TeslaInsurance tells me that it was my fault, and that I should contact the manufacturer. What do I do?
I was driving back home at low speed and almost die, and now I need to pay for deductibles? @Tesla should do something here beyond ridiculous insurance formalities.
Thanks @ToyotaResearch for supporting me to be at
#CHI2024 to present my former multidisciplinary work in collaboration with multiple departments @Stanford @USC @umdcs @UDelaware and colleagues across various other universities: programs.sigchi.org/chi/2024…
Really proud of being part of this new National AI R&D center funded by @NSF, covering an important need in our society trails.umd.edu/
Proud to see my former postdoc @XinTong1111 present our #CHI2023 paper "Just Do Something: comparing Self-Proposed with AI-recommended stress interventions...", showing efficacy for both cases. Great collaboration with colleagues from @umdcs @StanfordMed @UDelaware & @DukeKunshan
Proud to see my former postdoc @XinTong1111 present our #CHI2023 paper "Just-Do-Something" dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.1145/3… comparing Self-Proposed with AI-recommended stress interventions, showing efficacy from both! Great collaboration with @umdcs @StanfordMed @UDelaware & @DukeKunshan
This work is based on our Chrome Plugin tool Home Sweet Office github.com/PervasiveWellbein… - we are happy to explore new questions about stress, productivity or behavioral change in general.
Super proud to witness my mother receiving a just recognition for her pioneer academic career as the creator of the Gender Studies major at @JurisUCUENCA m.facebook.com/media/set/?se…

Excited to have received news that our paper comparing self-proposed & machine-recommended stress interventions w/ online workers (via our Home Sweet Office plugin) was accepted to #CHI2023. It's been great working w/ @XinTong1111, @pabloeparedes, and others on this #HCI project.
Turns out people have good ideas to manage their own stress at work... machines can further support if needed. Proud to have our paper contrasting self-proposed and AI-recommended interventions accepted to #CHI2023. Congrats to my former postdocs @XinTong1111, @mattm401, et al.
Happy to share my latest TEDx talk in Discomfort by Design: youtu.be/y96jRdVFcSw
In a world where technology is built mostly to alleviate discomfort, maybe what we need is to embrace discomfort as a design feature to help us grow and develop resilience.
Thanks so much @dSeanMustard @StanfordHCI @stanforddschool for your super stimulating talk on Tangible Affective Displays, as part of my Behavior Change and Affective Computing Course @umdcs @umiacs
Our paper on Shared Autonomy to reduce sedentarism among sit-stand desk users is out: dx.doi.org/10.2196/35447
Interesting cultural & gender differences on the way people may embrace automated health sustaining systems. Co-authors @StanfordMed @umdcs @UDelaware & @SFU
Yet another great talk today in my "Behavior Change and Affective Computing" class @umdcs @umiacs today! Thanks so much @javherriv from @MSFTResearch talking about "Towards Empathetic Closed-loop Systems" and how to apply them to video conference, cars, hospitals, and more.
Thanks so much, @jeanreiscosta from @ToyotaResearch for your super cool talk "Mobile Technologies for Implicit Self-regulation" in my "Behavior Change and Affective Computing" class ar @umdcs @umiacs. Many novel ideas on how to interface computing with human interoception.
Thanks so much @slowalpaca for your sharing your wonderful research "Towards Inclusive and Accessible Self-Tracking" in my "Behavior Change and Affective Computing" class at @umdcs @umiacs

Super excited to be part and collaborate with the amazing set of colleagues at BBI. There is so much potential when we combine deep understanding of the brain with novel computing paradigms to bring that knowledge into the wild for the benefit of society.
Welcome to new faculty @Juanonyme, @caro_charp, @pabloeparedes and Elizabeth Schechter! They bring expertise in circuit development, the development of identity, and in processes that can be affected by age, like decision-making and emotional health.
