UChicago CS Researchers Shine at CHI 2023 with 12 Papers and Multiple Awards
Exceeding records from previous years, students and faculty from the University of Chicago’s Department of Computer Science had 12 papers accepted to the 2023 ACM conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI) – the premier international gathering of human-computer interaction researchers. Two papers received honorable mentions (top 5% of submissions) and one was given a best paper award, which is reserved for only the top 1% of all submissions. The full lineup of papers showcases a wide scope of HCI research being done at UChicago, ranging from spatial interaction and data privacy in k-12 schools to wearable technology and human/robot connections.
The full list of papers and contributors can be found below:
