His goal is for users at all technical levels to effectively and quickly make sense of their information. He is interested in solutions that ultimately improve the interface between users and data, and uses techniques borrowed from fields such as data management, systems, crowd sourcing, visualization, and HCI.

Joining The Lab
I'm looking for a student to work at the intersection of LLM agents and data systems, or database and HCI. Applicants should have taken courses in both areas and/or have experience in both areas.
PhDs: read the lab's work and provide evidence you can conduct research in the lab. Include "bananas" in the subject line. See youtube videos of how to approach the application.
Postdocs: share thoughts on how you can best make use of my expertise. Include "satsuma" in the subject line.
Interns + UGrad + Masters read the list of projects looking for help.
