Program FAQs

This event series is designed for PhD students who attended CHI 2021 and are interested in connecting with Google Researchers and Engineers from our UX Research teams.

At Google we believe that diversity of perspectives and ideas leads to better discussions, decisions, and outcomes for everyone.This series is an opportunity for Google to engage with PhD students in the UX/HCI research field who attended CHI 2021 and provide an intimate space for connection and discussion.

Each roundtable will start with a mini introduction from your Google host about their work, career journeys, and interests and then open into an AMA (ask me anything) discussion where you can ask your hosts questions about their career path, research, roles, teams, life at Google, and more.
