Interaction Research Lab
Designing interactions with exploratory, frontier methods and extracting insights about interaction using cutting-edge computational methods.
The Interaction Research Lab explores the intersection of human behavior, technology, and design to create more intuitive, accessible, and meaningful interactions at all scales, from face-to-face encounters to city-scale phenomena.
Located on Roosevelt Island in New York City at Cornell Tech, the graduate campus of Cornell University, our lab benefits from a vibrant ecosystem of technology innovation and interdisciplinary research.
