Expert Bio
Much of Professor Solovey's work explores effective human interaction with complex and autonomous systems and vehicles. One focus of research is on next-generation interaction techniques, such as brain-computer interfaces, physiological computing, and reality-based interaction. She designs, builds and evaluates interactive computing systems that use machine learning approaches to adapt and support the user’s changing cognitive state and context. She also investigates novel paradigms for designing with accessibility in mind, particularly for the Deaf community.
