HCI systems papers need to tell visual stories. As we near the CHI deadline, here's a set of exemplary figures curated by my lab. Hope it helps inspire! Feel free to contribute some examples. https://t.co/Nyl7f04GOE

I am looking to hire two Ph.D. students this coming Fall 2025. If you have strong design/system-building skills and are interested in any of the following-
-Privacy and security solutions for marginalized and underserved communities
-Human-in-the-loop governance for LLMs

In 2013, we took SOUPS out of the US for the first time and held it at Northumbria University in Newcastle, UK. Our evening social event at Alnwick Garden really took off!

In 2012, we took SOUPS to Washington, DC. We had an invited talk from FTC Commissioner @juliesbrill and went on a field trip to the White House, where we met President Obama's dog Bo!

At SOUPS 2008 (held @carnegiemellon @cylab) @moduloprime and @v0max pioneered the wearable poster concept. Both a fashion statement and a practical way to stand near your poster and the food at the same time, sadly this concept never took off.

@lorrietweet kindly provided a flashback of 20 years of SOUPS. Here are some highlights:

The first SOUPS symposium was held @CarnegieMellon @CyLab in 2005. About 70 attendees gathered for talks, posters, discussion sessions and the first SOUPS ice cream social.
