HCI Research
Our research focuses on the future of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). We explore interactions between people and technology by developing innovative prototypes and by studying human behavior and interaction with these prototypes. Our research fields include Tangible Interface, Mobile and Wearable Computing, Human-robot Interaction, Ethics, Learning Technologies, and new materials, including Biological Interfaces.
PhD
PhD students from various backgrounds can choose to collaborate with the milab for any aspect within the HCI domain.
MA in Human-Computer Interaction
MA in HCI is a transformative degree, providing students the methodologies and skills required to lead user-centered products in technology companies, interactive experiences in design companies, and cutting-edge research in academic and industry innovation labs.
BA in Interactive Communication
BA interactive students join the milab as part of their studies. The track offers a combination of theoretical studies in the HCI domain as well as hands-on experience in the field of product studies and UX/UI. Students are exposed to workshops and courses such as product design, product management, UX writing, GUI for UX, ethics of UX/UI, foundations of human-computer interaction (HCI), fundamentals of technological thinking, cognitive psychological aspects in user experience, and non-verbal communication.
Publications
milab publishes in leading HCI conferences and journals, including CHI, HRI, DIS, TEI, RO-MAN, Human-Computer Interaction Journal, Computers and Human Behavior, International Journal of Social Robotics, and more.

What Makes milab Unique?
milab (The Media Innovation Lab) focuses on the relationship between digital technology and physical interaction, and keeps the human aspect at the core of the innovation process. milab focuses on the future of technology.
At the same time, the outcomes of our projects are real, working prototypes. We accept students from multidisciplinary backgrounds to work together in projects teams including interactive media, design, computer science and psychology majors.
This combination enables teams to deal with complex challenges from different angles. milab has a dedicated group of mentors who work with our project teams on a regular basis.
These mentors are industry leaders who share in our vision and provide an important industry perspective. milab encourages an open, informal, highly collaborative environment within the lab, and in our contacts with industry sponsors.
We follow a shared IP philosophy to enable open ended collaboration and development. Many of milab’s research projects address current social issues and the use of technology to promote social or personal change.
