Katja Pott
Human Computer Interaction Researcher
about
I am an HCI researcher exploring the emerging field of generative user interfaces.
Context matters, and people matter more than the systems built around them. Generative user interfaces promise interfaces that adapt in real time to a user's intent, expertise, and situation, but that promise only holds if we design with care for how humans actually form mental models, exercise agency, and make sense of evolving technology. My work explores that intersection: how generative processes reshape interaction, what they ask of users, and how user-centered design must evolve to meet them.
