Vision

The Social Innovation Group is a dynamic and diverse collective of interdisciplinary experts specializing in the research and development of ubiquitous and social computing technologies. Our vision is simple: To design, build, and enhance innovative technologies that effectively tackle real-world challenges.

Our expertise lies in addressing real-world problems affecting minoritized groups and people experiencing various forms of marginalization, particularly emphasizing the United States. Our ongoing projects aim to combat unemployment, promote environmental sustainability, and enhance technical literacy by fostering social and sociotechnical capital within these communities.

Comprised of a wide range of talented professionals, our team brings together computer scientists, designers, social scientists, and business majors. We warmly invite undergraduate and graduate researchers, Ph.D. candidates, and current and aspiring professionals who share our passion for making a positive societal impact.

Join us in our quest to leverage innovation and expertise for the betterment of society. Together, we can drive meaningful change and create a brighter future.
