CHI 2025 UCSC Contribution

The Department of Computational Media at the Baskin School of Engineering at UC Santa Cruz will contribute a wide range of publications to CHI 2025, the flagship annual conference for human-computer interaction and design.

Researchers from UCSC’s Computational Media Department have made a significant impact at CHI 2025. They authored nine full papers, including one that received a Best Paper Award, placing in the top 1% of submissions. Their contributions also include two Alt.CHI presentations, five Late-Breaking Work pieces, one panel, and two organized workshops.
