Hello! I am Manas Bedmutha, a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at UC San Diego (HXI Lab / Design Lab).

In my research, I use signal processing and machine learning on ubiquitous devices to interpret and interact with user behaviors. My current focus lies on human-AI interaction with the goal of making AI accessible and trustworthy through novel sensing and interaction ideas.

I am currently working on developing technologies for supporting social wellbeing, across in-person conversations (social signal processing) as well as building digital just-in-time interventions (JITAIs) for social engagement.
