Join the Human Bio-Behavioral Signals (HUBBS) Lab at CU Boulder! 

The goal of HUBBS Lab is to make fundamental contributions to human-centered machine intelligence (ML) and to promote scientific advancement in trustworthy artificial intelligence (AI). This endeavor highly draws from interdisciplinary collaborations in health and psychological sciences, social sciences, and learning sciences, and leads to interdisciplinary scientific contributions. Main research areas include trustworthy and responsible human-centered AI, including dimensions of privacy-preservation, explainability, and fairness; human-AI teaming and collaborative decision-making; intelligent assistive interfaces for personalized user feedback in education and health; assistive computational technologies for combatting racism and bias; multimodal data analytics.
