Emotive Computing Lab

We pursue four lines of integrative research:

1.  We incorporate a diverse set of theories and methodologies to enhance foundational understanding of how cognitive, affective, and social processes interact during higher-order information processing (e.g., complex learning, collaborative problem solving). 

2. We research multimodal analytical and machine learning methods to develop computational models of socio-cognitive-affective (SAC) states (e.g., mind wandering, confusion, frustration, boredom, stress, team conflict) and processes (e.g., negotiation & coordination, question asking) for both individuals and small groups. 

3. We leverage the findings and artifacts from basic research and computational modeling to build and test intelligent technologies that help people work and learn more efficiently, effectively, engagingly, and equitably.

4. We conduct systematic reviews and meta-analyses to assimilate theories and findings from our interdisciplinary research areas

WHO WE ARE

We an interdisciplinary research team of computer scientists, cognitive scientists, psychologists, and neuroscientists.

Join our team

We are always looking forward to working with motivated and dedicated researchers, students (at all levels), and postdocs. We look for: (1) a clear alignment of interests, (2) prior research experience in any area (ideally with publications), (3) excellent collaboration and communication skills, and (4) a “can do” attitude that exhibits confidence, enthusiasm (for research), and perseverance in the face of challenges.

If you would like to inquire about joining us, please send us a note with your CV/resume, brief statement of prior work, and how you see yourself contributing to our work. We do receive a lot of requests and only reply if the mutual interest seems to be sufficiently strong (hint: you can demonstrate this by reading some of our recent papers and looking over our current projects).
