At the Center for Behavioral Intervention Technologies she investigates how digital tools can improve outcomes for people with depression and anxiety, and she co-founded the nonprofit Kaina Institute to advance equitable research practices. Kate combines rigorous academic scholarship with applied prototyping and teaching in HCI and assistive technology, and she’s actively on the tenure-track market for HCI positions across multiple disciplines.
