Interested in Joining the CHiLL Lab?
Our lab works with current University of Washington students of all levels from a variety of backgrounds. If you are a current UW student, the best way to get involved is to request to join Dr. Kientz’s current Directed Research Group (HCDE 496/596). Upon successful completion of research in that group, we can discuss opportunities for independent study or other ways to get involved.
Demand to work within our research lab is currently higher than we have space for, and thus we do not have opportunities at this time for non-student collaborators. If you are not yet a UW student, please first apply directly to the programs of the relevant departments, including Human Centered Design & Engineering, The Information School, and Computer Science & Engineering.
