The weekly HCI seminar is the primary gathering point for the HCI community at Columbia University, including Barnard College, Teachers College, and the Columbia University Medical Center (CUMC). The seminar features talks from diverse leading perspectives in HCI, presented by members of the HCI community and by visiting researchers and practitioners. The seminar covers a diverse range of topics, including design, accessibility, computational interaction, mixed reality, bioinformatics, intelligent agents, ubiquitous computing, HCI systems and applications, as well as studies of emerging technologies in healthcare, creativity, and productivity contexts. All members of the HCI/NLP/CS community are welcome and encouraged to attend the weekly HCI seminar. Past HCI seminars speakers (Fall 2024):

If you are interested in hosting a HCI speaker, or are yourself interested in speaking in the HCI seminar, contact the Columbia HCI group organizers. Seminars begin with time for socializing, followed by a talk lasting around 40 to 50 minutes, and conclude with a short Q&A session. In Fall 2024, the seminars will take place on Fridays from 4 to 5 p.m. on the Columbia Univeristy Morningside campus and on Zoom. Seminar announcements are distributed on the our own HCI mailing lists.
