Invited speakers
Amy Pavel
Amy Pavel is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at The University of Texas at Austin. As a systems researcher in Human-Computer Interaction, she embeds machine learning technologies into new human interactions that she then deploys to test and conduct in-depth user studies to inform future system designs. Her long-term research goal is to make communication more effective and accessible to all.
