Donald McMillan is an Assistant Professor in Human-Computer Interaction at Stockholm University. His research is on the adoption and use of novel technology such as multi-modal conversational agents in everyday settings.
Razan Jaber is a final year Post Doctoral Researcher at KTH. Her work centers around the combination of conversational user interfaces with other modalities of interaction, with a focus on including \textit{gaze}. Her work draws upon human-human interaction and conversation analysis as a resource for CUI development.
Minha Lee is an assistant professor at the Department of Industrial Design, with a background in philosophy, digital arts, and HCI. Her research concerns morally relevant interactions with various agents like robots or chatbots. Her recent work explores how we can explore our moral self-identity through conversations with digital entities, e.g., via acting compassionately towards a chatbot.
