Jeehan Malik
I am a PhD candidate, advised by Prof. Joe Kearney. I am also part of the Hank Lab at the University of Iowa. My research area is Human-Computer Interaction, specifically accessibility and aging. I am interested in research exploring accessibility and perception in mixed reality applications, as well as safer transport and mobility.

Research
At the Hank Lab, we use a Virtual Environment to explore the effect of Vehicle-to-Pedestrian communication technology on older pedestrian street-crossing behavior. We presented older and younger adults with smartphone and Augmented Reality alerts and warnings and examined their street-crossing behavior. We are now further exploring how pedestrian behavior can change in different contexts and with different abilities.
At the HawCHI Lab, we are exploring how to include people with visual impairments in exercise classes. We developed a system using a sensor mat and Convolutional Neural Network to detect feet and are designing feedback for a step-aerobics workout.
