ASSET Lab, circa July 2023

Welcome to the Accessible and Socially Aware Technologies (ASSET) lab in the Department of Computer Science and Statistics at the University of Rhode Island (URI).

We explore the frontiers of research in computer science in our quest to build technologies for and with marginalized populations using ideas from accessibility, human-computer interaction, and applied machine learning. We often use ideas, theories, methodologies from fields like the humanities and the social sciences in our approach to addressing technical design problems.

Our research is primarily funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
