Service

My service supports the university, the HCI and AI research community, and the broader communities connected to my work. I contribute to the programs and peer-review processes that sustain research and education, while bringing human-centered computing perspectives to institutional and public conversations.

University, college & department

At UNO, I contribute to graduate admissions, doctoral program operations, curriculum review, faculty recruitment, and college planning. My work on the Doctoral Program Committee includes applicant review and interviews, study plans, comprehensive exams, and student progress. Through ISQA's Graduate Program Committee, I support master's admissions, curriculum review, and program standards.

Professional service

I contribute to scholarly peer review through journal and conference reviewing, program committees, session chairing, and research proposal review. These activities support careful evaluation of HCI, AI, and human-centered computing research and connect UNO with national and international scholarly communities.

• Program committee work for venues including ACM IUI, CSCW, RecSys, UMAP, Hypertext, and ECIR, along with related workshops and conference tracks.
• Research proposal review for the National Science Foundation, University of Nebraska Medical Center, Israel Science Foundation, and University of South Dakota.
• Session chair, CSCW 2021.
• Outstanding Program Committee Member, ACM UMAP, 2019.

Community engagement

I share research with community and professional audiences to connect AI design with public needs. This includes presentations on AI chatbots and government applications for the Nebraska City/County Managers Association and UNO's engagement with MITRE, as well as participation in invited panels.

My community service also includes moderating UNO's Student Research and Creative Activity Fair and STEM mentoring through Educational Service Unit 2. These activities help students and community members explore research, technology, and educational pathways.
