About Me

Maithili is studying to specialize in the research areas of Human-Centered Computing (HCC) and specifically virtual humans (VH). Her research goal is to evaluate the factors that make virtual humans 'truly convincing'. To achieve this goal, she studies users’ current VH-interaction practices and uses this information to design, implement, and evaluate technologies that help users manage various aspects of the interaction experience such as virtual humans' appearance, personality, age, gender, ethnicity, emotions, gestures, smile, gaze, and proxemics. Her other research interests include usable privacy and security, data visualization, queueing and simulations, and virtual humans modeling. Paper on "Evaluating the Cost of Prevention Programming and Universal Screening with Discrete Event Simulation" is about an applied 'tandem queuing network' that involves overcoming the challenges of keeping the workings of each internal phase intact and synergizing the parts to make a meaningful whole—delivering beautiful deterministic & stochastic synergy. She is interested in the development, critique, evaluation, and characterization of UX and visualization systems. For UX systems, her goal is to help people measure and define their products from the user's perspective. She grounds UX research with strategy and design to analyze emerging technologies. Her research strategy includes qualitative, quantitative, attitudinal, behavioral & design research. She often chooses mathematical rig
