Rudrajit Choudhuri
I’m Rudrajit (Rudy), a fourth-year Ph.D. student at Oregon State University, advised by Dr. Anita Sarma. My research lies at the intersections of Human-Centered AI (HCAI), Software Engineering (SE), Cognitive Science, UX Design, and Artificial Intelligence (AI). Currently, I study (1) cognitive processes that influence human-AI interactions in SE, and (2) methods for designing human-centered interfaces for AI tools to improve user-experiences in AI-assisted software development.
My goal is to empower developers and end-users with trustworthy, effective, and inclusive AI support, enabling them to work more efficiently, maintain control over AI, and minimize errors.
I am grateful to have been mentored by incredible researchers who have shaped my journey: Anita Sarma and Margaret Burnett for SE+HCAI, Igor Steinmacher and Bianca Trinkenreich for SE, Christopher Sanchez for Cognitive Psychology, Christian Bird and Marco Gerosa for SE+AI.
Have questions or want to chat? I’m always happy to connect with people—feel free to reach out!
