Top SchoolF Khan is a PhD researcher in Human-Computer Interaction with eight years of interdisciplinary experience blending design, research, and community-engaged practice to empower intersectionally marginalized groups, especially queer, trans, and BIPoC communities. Currently at the University of Michigan School of Information, they explore playful, embodied, and participatory design methods that prioritize community asset-building and real-world impact. Their background spans academia and creative industry — from immersive installation design at Meow Wolf to mentoring marginalized game developers and hands-on HCI research at CU Boulder and UC Irvine. Skilled in teaching, research facilitation, and creative-technical design, they pair rigorous inquiry with craft-driven prototyping to translate theory into tangible, inclusive experiences.
