Happy Pi(e) Day from BiD! Ft. PhD student Tim Thanks to PhD student Nicole for organizing!

I’ll be heading to ACM IUI 2025 in Sydney next week to present SlideSpecs, a system for gathering and contextualizing feedback on presentations. This is joint work with Amy Pavel, Tonya Nguyen, Maneesh Agrawala, and Bjoern Hartmann. Project: jeremywrnr.com/SlideSpecs/ #IUI2023

BiD seminar this week featured Sean Follmer, Asst. Prof. at Stanford University🌲 His talk: "Touching the Void: Enabling the Future of Haptic Interaction through Shape Displays" inspired great conversation! Thanks for making the journey to this side of the Bay, Sean Follmer!

Interested in brains, design, and computational modeling? Check out new paper from Mo Hu, Chris McComb (he/him), and Kosa Goucher-Lambert: "Uncovering hidden patterns of design ideation using hidden Markov modeling and neuroimaging" cambridge.org/core/journals/…)

We are looking forward to hosting Joon Sung Park, PhD student at Stanford University 🌲, for BiD seminar tomorrow on the topic "Generative Agents: Simulating User Behavior in Interactive Systems"!

Presenting at BiD seminar this week is BiD's own J.D. Zamfirescu-Pereira! We are looking forward to getting a sneak peek at J.D.'s (timely and relevant!) CHI talk: "Why Johnny Can’t Prompt: How Non-AI Experts Try (and Fail) To Design LLM Prompts"

#CHI2023 Don't miss the stellar work from the Hybrid Ecologies Lab – 4 papers! Including a Best Paper 🏆– Decomposable Energy Storage, Lotion-Mediated on-skin Interactions, Incredible New Tool for design, studio, and creative HCI courses, & Version Control for creative practices

Excited to hear from Monroe Kennedy III (Monroe Kennedy III), Asst. Prof. of MechE at Stanford University on the topic of "Collaborative Robotics: From Dexterity to Teammate Prediction" for today's BiD seminar! This is our 2nd to last talk before we wrap up the semester!

Congrats, Jeremy!!!

BiD seminar is over for spring! Thanks to Jane E (Jane E), postdoc at UCSD 🌊, for giving an awesome last talk on the topic: "Artistic Vision: Providing Contextual Guidance for Creative Tasks"! Looking forward to hearing about more exciting work in future semesters!

Our first BiD seminar talk of the academic year will be next Tuesday at 12pm with Professor Antti Oulasvirta of Aalto University. Talk Title: HCI's Second Icarus Moment Looking forward to another year of exciting discussions about design!

BiD fall coffee hour 🍂 ☕️

Will you be at UIST 2023 in SF? Come meet us at Berkeley! RSVP here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

We're happy to have Jason Wu, PhD student in the HCI Institute at Carnegie Mellon University, presenting at BiD Seminar today (12-1pm in BiD!) Talk Title: Computational Understanding of User Interfaces

Looking forward hearing from Professor Anhong Guo (Anhong Guo) from the University of Michigan today for BiD seminar (special time today: 1-2pm)! Talk Title: Human-AI Systems for Accessibility: Use, Customize, and Create

No BiD seminar today, but taking the time to thank Sara Beckman, Professor at UC Berkeley,  who gave a previous seminar talk on "Assessing Student Learning about Design"! An important topic for any of us who teach design classes!

Today’s BiD seminar speaker is Ye Wang, Principal Research Scientist at Autodesk Research! We look forward to her talk: “Towards Synthetic Inventions”

We're excited to be joined by Eunice Jun, current postdoc at UC Berkeley and incoming Assistant Professor of Computer Science at UCLA at tomorrow's BiD seminar! Talk Title: Data analysis tools for statistical non-experts

BiD spreading the love for Cal-entine's day ❤️
