A Lifetime of Design Research in Human-Computer Interaction

Watch a 30-minute SIGCHI Lifetime Research Award lecture where Carnegie Mellon University's Herbert A. Simon Professor Jodi Forlizzi reflects on her groundbreaking contributions to design research in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). Explore how Forlizzi established design research as a distinct and vital methodology alongside scientific and human science research over the past two decades. Gain insights into her influential work mentoring scholars and practitioners in design research methodologies, as well as her current research focusing on human-robot interaction services and human-AI collaboration in eldercare, accessibility, and wellbeing. Learn from a pioneering figure who has shaped the CHI community through her advocacy and leadership as both an academic and the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Lead in CMU's School of Computer Science.
