Get Involved – Undergraduate Students

Why should I consider doing research?

Taking part in research gives you the chance to work on challenging problems without obvious solutions.

If you are interested in pursuing graduate school (thesis-based Master's or PhD), research experience is increasingly important.

Getting involved with research is an opportunity for you to flex your critical thinking, independence, and creativity.

What do undergraduate volunteers typically do in the CHAI lab?

We typically recruit volunteers to work closely with a graduate student on one of their projects.

We have had volunteers train machine learning models on sensor data, create new smartphone apps and browser plugins, analyze transcripts from interviews, and help with study coordination and data collection.
