Hello!

My name is Lisa Egede.

I'm a 3rd year PhD student in the Human Computer Interaction Institute (HCII) at Carnegie Mellon University where I'm advised by Geoff Kaufman.

My research interests center around understanding how historically underrepresented communities experience and utilize technology for their needs. Through my research, I want to advance our current understanding of how to design socially responsible technology through participatory design and community based approaches.

I am a current GEM University fellow and the 2023-2024 Presidential Fellow for Carnegie Mellon's HCI Institute. My research has been published at various conference venues including COMPASS, CHI and CSCW!

In my free time I enjoy riding my bike, making spotify playlists and taking pictures on my film camera.
