Dissertation Defense: Will Sutherland, "Research Software Systems: Exploration and Infrastructure in Observational Cosmology"

Members of the HCDE & DUB communities are invited to attend a dissertation defense by PhD Candidate Will Sutherland. Research Software Systems: Exploration and Infrastructure in Observational Cosmology, PhD Candidate: Will Sutherland Abstract: In the last 20 years software has become an increasingly problematic object in the sciences. While it has become integral to research in many fields, scientific communities have struggled with problems of reproducibility, reuse, and the validity of findings produced by complex software systems. This has been attributed in part to the unplannable and unpredictable nature of scientific work itself, which makes it difficult to test research software or to define its requirements ahead of time. In this dissertation I draw on ethnographic work with a research group in the field of reionization cosmology in order to develop an understanding of how researchers develop novel software instrumentation in these contexts of uncertainty. I elaborate the notion of exploratory… Event interval: Single day event. Campus location: Sieg Building (SIG). Online Meeting Link: https://washington.zoom.us/j/98726654668. Campus room: 232.

Dissertation Defense: Keri Mallari, "Developing Feedback Systems for Live Stream Communities"

Members of the HCDE & DUB communities are invited to attend a dissertation defense by PhD Candidate Keri Mallari. Developing Feedback Systems for Live Stream Communities, PhD Candidate: Keri Mallari Abstract: Live streaming has become a key mode of community engagement, enabling real-time interaction between creators and audiences. Platforms like Twitch have transformed content creation into a participatory, performative practice that blends entertainment, emotional labor, and community building. Despite its growing cultural and economic role, little research has examined how streamers interpret and act on audience feedback in ways that support sustained growth, well-being, and meaningful interaction. This dissertation explores how intelligent feedback systems can support streamers in managing content production and community engagement. Through three studies, it investigates feedback from multiple angles: streamers’ existing information practices, proactive strategies for soliciting input, and reactive… Event interval: Single day event.
