Senior🎓
Top SchoolShakiba Davari is a UX researcher and XR specialist with a PhD in Computer Science who designs intelligent AR/VR systems that blend user research, interface design, and applied AI to improve training, productivity, accessibility, and human-robot collaboration. With a decade of experience across academia and industry—including postdoctoral research at Georgia Tech and internships at Adobe and Microsoft—she builds multimodal, adaptive interfaces using Unity, ARKit/ARCore, Apple Vision Pro, HoloLens, and Quest. Shakiba leads mixed-methods UX evaluations and deployable prototypes that translate complex sensor fusion, computer vision, and context detection into usable systems for real-world environments. She mentors cross-disciplinary teams, publishes actively, and contributes to community programs, bringing rare depth in both hands-on XR development and rigorous HCI research. Notably, her work focuses on making intelligent XR genuinely accessible and task-ready rather than purely experimental.
