Shivam Shukla(शिवम् शुक्ल)
Hello! I’m an HCI researcher and designer exploring the intersection of design, human behavior, and Artificial Intelligence. I currently conduct research at the Game User Interaction and Intelligence (GUII) Lab, led by Dr. Magy Seif El-Nasr, investigating how serious games can foster resilience, decision-making skills, and knowledge transfer in wildfire scenarios. Also, I am collaborating with Dr. Roshanaei on research examining how language models (LLMs) can enhance community engagement, foster social interactions, and promote overall well-being.
Currently, I am focused on two key areas:
-
Leveraging Human-Centered AI to enhance decision-making and autonomy in future space missions.
-
Building Trustworthy Human-Agent Collaboration by improving reliability, transparency, and user confidence in AI-driven interactions.
Happy to talk about my research. If our interests align or if you're looking for advice, feedback, or suggestions that I can offer, feel free to schedule a chat with me here.
Projects
Feel free to browse through my recent work, and if something piques your interest, let’s chat—I’d love to hear your thoughts!
Playbook: Virtual Pilot for Space Mission Success
An AI system supporting contingency planning for mission planners and crew members, enhancing the existing scheduling tool Playbook by addressing key challenges in planning under constraints.
Crew Agent
An intelligent scheduling assistant that helps astronauts manage their daily tasks efficiently while maintaining autonomy. The Crew Agent continuously analyzes individual crew preferences, detects potential scheduling conflicts, and suggests optimal time slots for activities.
Mixed-method evaluative study for understanding the usability of a social navigation simulator
MIMIC is a simulator that provides a virtual playground where robots can learn navigational skills within a human social behavior context, making them better prepared for the real world compared to robots trained in a virtual environment that does not simulate social cues.
Human-Agent Collaboration
We are working on building the future of Human-Agent collaboration. This project revolves around building trustworthy Human-Agent Collaboration by improving reliability, transparency, and user confidence in AI-driven interactions.
Under Progress
SCC Wildfire
This project explores how serious games can foster resilience, decision-making skills, and knowledge transfer in wildfire scenarios. Through process mining, discourse analysis, and structured data instrumentation, our goal is to understand player behavior, enhance interactive learning, and improve collaborative problem-solving in game-based environments.
Under Progress
Computation Life Balance
We are establishing a small student-driven academic community in Silicon Valley as a pilot project dedicated to integrating Yoga (especially, Surya Namaskar also known as Sun Salutations) into daily routines for students who are heavily reliant on digital devices. This initiative will serve as an initiative to demonstrate the effectiveness of sun salutations in enhancing Brain(well-being) and Bytes (productivity).
