Jodi Forlizzi is the Herbert A. Simon Professor in Computer Science and HCII, and the associate dean for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in the School of Computer Science.

She is responsible for establishing design research as a legitimate form of research in HCI that is different from, but equally as important as, scientific and human science research. For the past 20 years, Forlizzi has advocated for design research in all forms, mentoring peers, colleagues, and students in its structure and execution, and today it is an important part of the CHI community.

Her current research interests include: designing educational games that are engaging and effective, designing robots, AVs, and other technology services that use AI and ML to adapt to people’s needs, and designing for healthcare. She is a member of the ACM CHI Academy and has been honored by the Walter Reed Army Medical Center for excellence in HRI design research. Forlizzi has consulted with Disney and General Motors to create innovative product-service systems.

HCI+D Symposium - Jodi Forlizzi Design and AI Innovation

Title: A Lifetime of Design Research in Human-Computer Interaction

Abstract
In this 2024 SIGCHI Lifetime Research Award talk, Jodi Forlizzi reflects on her pioneering contributions to design research in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). Over the past two decades, Forlizzi has established design research as a crucial and distinct methodology within the HCI field, advocating for its recognition alongside scientific and human science research. Her work has profoundly shaped the CHI community, mentoring a generation of scholars and practitioners in the rigor and value of design research.

Masterclass with Jodi Forlizzi

Carnegie Mellon University
“Designing Human Interaction with Agents and Robots”
ABSTRACT
Over the last decade, the idea that robots and agents might participate meaningfully in complex group and organizational contexts has developed from a promising vision into a reality. Robots now assist humans in simple tasks such as delivery through complex, high-stakes tasks such as disaster response and surgery. In this talk, I will introduce the discipline of design and describe, with examples from our work, how it is a critical research practice in designing complex agent and robot systems that fit in a number of social and organizational contexts and support all aspects of interaction.
