Short Bio
Andrés Monroy-Hernández joined the Computer Science faculty in the Fall of 2021 to lead the Princeton HCI group. His work focuses on human-computer interaction and social computing. He has created technologies that have helped millions of people connect and collaborate in new ways, including MIT’s Scratch online community, Microsoft’s first hybrid AI scheduling agent, and Snapchat’s co-located AR experiences. His research has received best paper awards at CHI, CSCW, HCOMP, and ICWSM and featured in The New York Times, CNN, Wired, BBC, and The Economist. Andrés was named one of the 35 Innovators under 35 by the MIT Technology Review magazine in Latin America and one of the most influential Latinos in Tech by CNET. Andrés was the technical program co-chair for ACM CSCW 2018 and ACM Collective Intelligence 2019. He is an editor for CSCW and a member of the CSCW steering committee. He holds a master's and Ph.D. from MIT and a BS from Tec de Monterrey in México.
His current interests center around two distinct areas: creating public-interest technology platforms for gig workers, and developing social augmented reality experiences.
