Negotiating Actionable Low-Carbon Daily Schedules
2022 - 2026
As individual low-carbon practices become increasingly important for climate action, one-size-fits-all recommendations often fail to reflect users' contexts and preferences, limiting real adoption. In this project, we propose "EcoTailor", a daily planning system that negotiates actionable low-carbon alternatives grounded in the user's own schedule. Through iterative negotiation that incorporates the user's constraints and preferences, EcoTailor helps users weave small, actionable practices into their daily routines with minimal burden.

Interlocking Concurrent Voices for Separable Processing
2022 - 2023
Information accessibility is crucial for all users. There is a gap in information acquisition efficiency between visual readers and screen reader users, particularly in that screen reader users struggle to quickly scan the overall structure of text documents. To bridge this gap, we propose "VoiceCogs", a system that takes text sources composed of multiple items and plays multiple text-to-speech conversions simultaneously to enhance the identifiability of individual sources. We developed and implemented two interlocking techniques to minimize voice interference between concurrent voices.
