Ravi’s work explores how interactive technologies can help people better understand and manage their health, with a particular emphasis on supporting self-experimentation and personal health decision-making. He recently received an NSF CAREER Award to advance research on interactive systems that enable people to conduct rigorous self-experiments in everyday life.

Fateme’s research focuses on health data visualization, human-centred AI, and the design of interactive systems that help people and clinicians make sense of complex health information. Her work combines visualization, AI, and human-centred design to support healthcare decision-making and enable uses of health data in clinical practice.
