2019/10/24镜像同步5 回复

Dr. Mingming Fan is currently looking for enthusiastic PhD students to join his team at the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT), Rochester, New York, USA. Bio: Dr. Mingming Fan is an Assistant Professor at the Rochester Institute of Technology. He researches at the intersection of HCI/UX, AI/ML, Accessibility, Interactive Visualization, and Human Sensing Technologies. He received his PhD in Computer Science from the University of Toronto. He studies users’ experiences through subtle behavioural signals via user-centered design (UCD), and applies AI/ML, interactive visualization to design interactive tools and applications. His work includes ML-assisted interactive visual analytical tools for UX designers/researchers and applications of wearable sensing and AI/ML technologies for accessibility, in particular for older adults and people with disabilities. Website: https://mingmingfan.com Email: mingming.fan@rit.edu About HCI/UX + AI/ML at RIT: RIT faculty conduct a broad range of HCI research, including in the areas of ubiquitous computing, user experience, haptics and wearables, communication, and accessibility. RIT has a dynamic HCI research community (http://hci-research.rit.edu), with faculty, students, and research centers across the university. PhD students also benefit from RIT's membership in the HCI Consortium (https://hcic.org/about.phtml), an organization of top universities, companies, and government research labs in the field of HCI. The HCI faculty below are also affiliated with the Center for Accessibility and Inclusion Research (CAIR, http://cair.rit.edu), which is a community of 40 faculty and students who publish research at leading computing conferences and journals, with a focus on HCI and accessibility for diverse users, including people who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing (DHH), people who are blind, people with communication impairments, and older adults. CAIR faculty have secured over $3.5 million in external research funding since 2014, more than 100 peer-reviewed journal and conference papers, and twelve Best Paper and Honorable Mention Awards from major research venues, including the ACM CHI and ASSETS conferences. CAIR includes several DHH researchers, and the RIT campus is enriched by the presence of the National Technical Institute for the Deaf (NTID), with over 1,300 DHH students. About the PhD Program: The Ph.D. in Computing and Information Sciences at RIT is a research degree designed to produce independent scholars, cutting-edge researchers, and well-prepared educators. Faculty and students conduct both foundational and applied research to address diverse and important challenges, and our graduates are poised to excel within both computing and interdisciplinary environments in academia, government and industry. About RIT and Rochester: Founded in 1829, RIT (https://www.rit.edu/) is a national research university and the 3rd largest producer of STEM university degrees among private U.S. universities. RIT is a diverse and collaborative community of engaged, socially conscious, and intellectually curious minds. Through creativity and innovation, and an intentional blending of technology, the arts and design, we provide exceptional individuals with a wide range of academic opportunities. RIT is minutes aware from downtown Rochester's many entertainment, cultural, and employment opportunities. Rochester is large enough to provide the dining and night life opportunities you might expect in a bigger city, yet small and friendly enough to be inviting and accessible. How to apply? If you are interested in doing a PhD in HCI/UX + AI/ML, feel free to contact Dr. Mingming Fan via email and provide your CV/resume, transcript, and a brief description of your research interests or your prior research/project experiences.
