Transforming computing by designing systems that adapt to human cognition.

🧑‍💻👩‍💻Programming is shifting from generating to evaluating. But are we evaluating AI fairly?

Our #ICSE2026 paper showed 56.4% of LLM interactions involved at least one bias!

Ever wondered what your fellow researchers think of a paper you're reading? What if you could surf through peer insights without drowning in social media chaos?

Introducing SURF🏄, an interface to bring social media discussions into the paper-reading experience!

Can LLMs appropriately explain “Why is the sky blue?”
…to a 10-year-old 👶🏽 vs. someone with a PhD in physics 👩🏽‍🔬?

In our #ACL2025 paper, we evaluate how well how well LLMs can tailor their explanations to different people.✍️
