ABSTRACT
Translational Science is the study of the process to turn scientific findings into practical applications. Due to technological and methodological advances, there has been an increase in scientific knowledge output, as well as an expectation by industry, governments, and the public that scientific knowledge should be 'useful'. These aspects could challenge common modes of knowledge dissemination. In my dissertation work, I investigate knowledge dissemination strategies of design-related communities, exploring the complex relationships between inquiry and design. I also design interventions to facilitate dissemination, focusing on the translation and application of behavior change theories into the design of technologies.

A Translational Science Model for HCI
CHI '19: Proceedings of the 2019 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsUsing scientific discoveries to inform design practice is an important, but difficult, objective in HCI. In this paper, we provide an overview of Translational Science in HCI by triangulating literature related to the research-practice gap with ...
Behavior Change Design Sprints
DIS '18: Proceedings of the 2018 Designing Interactive Systems ConferenceWhile numerous design methods used in industry help designers rapidly brainstorm design ideas, few help them to use theory in the design process. Behavior change theories can support such design activities as understanding, ideating, sketching, and ...
Translations and Boundaries in the Gap Between HCI Theory and Design Practice
Special Issue on HCI and the Body:?Reimagining Women's Health and Regular PapersThe gap between research and design practice has long been a concern for the HCI community. In this article, we explore how different translations of HCI knowledge might bridge this gap. A literature review characterizes the gap as having two key ...
