About me

I'm Atieh, a Presidential Postdoctoral Fellow in the Human-Computer Interaction Institute (HCII) at Carnegie Mellon University, working with Professors Jeffrey Bigham and Patrick Carrington. I recently earned my PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering under the supervision of Professor Misha Sra in the Human-AI Integration Lab at UC Santa Barbara.
My research intersects Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Accessibility, aiming to create meaningful technological solutions that improve the lives of individuals with disabilities. With a focus on participatory design, I'm dedicated to developing solutions that not only fulfill functional needs but also enhance the quality of life and user experience for those with disabilities, an area that has historically received less attention in Assistive Technology design research.
My work, recognized at leading HCI and Accessibility venues, reflects a commitment to inclusivity and the creation of technologies that offer holistic experiences beyond simple utility, and I'm always looking forward to collaborating with interdisciplinary teams to drive innovative projects. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or would like to collaborate on a project.
