New preprint! A Crowdsourced Megastudy of 12 Digital Single-Session Interventions for Depression in American Adults

Thankful to Rachel Kornfield, David Mohr, Jonah Meyerhoff, Alex Mariakakis, Joseph Jay Williams, Miranda Beltzer, Harsh Kumar, Fred Song.
We conducted a two-month field deployment of a text messaging tool to identify these disruptors and followed it with several design workshops that led to actionable design recommendations, including facilitating goal setting, reframing disengagement, and providing targeted socioeconomic support.
Check out our newly accepted CSCW paper, where we explore the broader social factors beyond digital tool characteristics that impact (and often disrupt) the use of digital mental health tools.

From the perspective of a PhD Candidate on the academic job market. Some observations about being on the HCI/Computer Science job search in 2024. A 🧵
My work has resulted in several interventions that impacted over 12,000 people and contributed to enhancing personality traits of Copilot.
I'm a PhD candidate in Computer Science at the University of Toronto, where I design interactive, AI-driven interventions that can adapt to the individual and social contexts of users. I've published at top HCI conferences and received Best Paper and Honorable Mention awards at CHI.
I'm on the job market this year! Looking for tenure-track academic and industry researcher positions, especially in human-AI interaction and digital interventions. Please share!
