Mauricio Villavicencio

I’m an incoming Ph.D. student in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Maryland College Park, where I’ll be working with Fumeng Yang at the FIGX Lab.

My research interests lie in how information granularity shapes human-AI interaction, and in building interfaces that align AI transparency mechanisms with target user behaviors.

I received my B.S. and M.S. in Computer Science at the University of Minnesota, under the advisement of Qianwen Wang as a member of the Visual Intelligence Lab. Previously, I was an intern at Mayo Clinic and at Boston Scientific, where I worked on machine learning applications in healthcare.
