Our lab had a great time attending the 2025 ASPIRE Conference hosted by the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society (HFES) last week in Chicago, IL.
Attending the HFES annual meeting has always been a valuable learning and networking experience for our team, and this year was no exception as we made contributions to the field through various presentations and events.
Our Principal Investigator, Eileen, moderated an interesting and engaging panel discussion that brought together diverse perspectives on the topic of open science in human factors. Moreover, our students also showcased their research work: Toey, a PhD student, delivered a talk on her ongoing research in AI Explainability, while JP, a master’s student, gave a lightning talk on his collaborative project with the HRI lab on understanding transparency in human-agent interaction.
In addition, several lab members also had a great chance to connect with other graduate students and researchers in the field of human factors from across the U.S. and internationally, paving the way for future collaborative opportunities.
This conference highlighted our lab’s accomplishments over the past year, and we are incredibly proud of our team’s continued growth and hard work!
