Human Computer Interaction Researcher

aayushi@foundry10.org

Welcome!

I am a Research Scientist at the education research organization foundry10. I earned my Ph.D. in Human Centered Design & Engineering from the University of Washington, where I was advised by Dr. Julie A. Kientz.

My research focuses on three interconnected areas:

  1. Designing game-based experiences for AI literacy
  2. Understanding how young people collaborate with general-purpose AI
  3. Exploring how programmable robots can support learning and creative expression

I am always interested in new collaborations and would love to hear about your ideas. If you’d like to collaborate or learn more about my research, feel free to get in touch.
