Hello!*~

My name is Lisa Egede and I'm a mixed-methods researcher and PhD candidate in the Human-Computer Interaction Institute (HCII) at Carnegie Mellon University. I received my undergraduate degree in Computer Science from the University of Oklahoma.

Grounded in societal computing, my research explores how diverse users experience and make sense of emerging AI systems, particularly in high-stakes contexts. I'm interested in connecting what we learn from users to how technology is designed and evaluated, bringing a human perspective to technical and product decisions!

In my free time I enjoy making Spotify playlists and taking pictures on my film camera.
