Mehrnaz Sabet works in the Collaborative Technologies lab at Cornell where she leads research on human-drone systems. Her research is focused on aerial autonomy through the design and development of drone systems to study how we can reliably increase drone autonomy when drones are deployed to work with humans in time-critical applications such as search and rescue operations. Prior to Cornell, she received her undergraduate degree in Computer Engineering.

Areas of Interest: Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, HCI

Michael is a PhD student in the Communication and Collaborative Technologies Lab. His research explores how individuals leverage technology to support communication in collaborative settings. He is interested in understanding how social and cognitive factors might influence the way humans engage with other complex systems.

Areas of Interest: Human-Robot Interaction, Embodied Cognition, Computer-Supported Cooperative Work, Telepresence
 

Hauke Sandhaus is a PhD student in Information Science at Cornell Tech, currently researching wicked design problems in Human-AI-Interaction to create an ethical future of automation. Advised by assistant professor Qian Yang and co-advised by associate professor Wendy Ju, Hauke's methods address Design at the Policy and Tech level simultaneously. 

Jonathan Segal is a Ph.D. student in Information Science at Cornell University. His research focuses on augmented and virtual reality, especially in healthcare settings.
