Dr. Reza H. Mogavi | University of Waterloo 

I am currently a  postdoctoral research fellow at the Human-Computer Interaction Games Group (HCIGG) at the University of Waterloo

✨ Would you happen to have ever dealt with an annoying technology that was just impossible to use? Was it an AI assistant or a widely used large language model (LLM)? My research aims to help by making technology more human-centered. That is, (re)designing interfaces and tools that reduce frustration, support natural interactions, clarify intent, adapt to users, and respect the ethical boundaries.

✨ I do this through the lens of user experience research and design. My research contributes to the fields of Human-Computer Interaction, Human-AI Interaction, and Applied Computing. ​

​

✨ Here at the University of Waterloo, I have the great honour of working with Prof. Lennart E. Nacke.

​

✨ Prior to joining UWaterloo, I earned my Ph.D. degree in Computer Science and Engineering from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. Throughout my PhD study, I had the privilege of being co-advised by Prof. Pan Hui and Prof. Xiaojuan Ma.
