Graham Dove ,

Ph.D.

I am a human-computer interaction researcher and designer. My research in the People+Technology lab focuses on human-centered and participatory design approaches to A.I., and to creating data-enabled products, services, and artifacts. I am interested in applications in areas such as: healthcare, where I have been designing with clinicians who treat neurological diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS); community science and health advocacy, where I have been working with communities in NYC Chinatowns around noise and air quality concerns with a focus on the environmental impacts of the reconstruction of Manhattan Detention Complex; digital civics, where I have been working with NYC OTI and BetaNYC to look at informal learning around community use of open data; and design for A.I. and machine learning, where I have been investigating design metaphors and new methods for ideating and prototyping. I am co-director of the Human-Centered Technology, Innovation and Design PhD program, and teach courses in digital civics and designing A.I. innovation. Prospective PhD students for Fall 25 should reach out via email with a one pager outlining their research interests and how they connect to my projects, and demonstrating their potential for research excellence.
