Qöyangnuptu/Sunrise Project

2019-Current

This project involves co-designing software with the Hopi Tribe's behavioral health services (BHS) to support their needs and goals. This work has resulted in a cross-platform mobile application, grounded in Hopi culture, and a Hopi-centered resilience resource database.

Responsibilities and Accomplishments:

• Development, testing, and deployment of a cross-platform mobile app and a web-app using Flutter and Firebase.
• Conducted five pilot studies for the Sunrise app with 50+ participants across two years.
• Conducted user activity data using Pandas and SciKit-Learn to conduct correlative analyses, understanding what design choices inform engagement and improved mood.

NetGauge

2023-Current

This project uses Situated Play Design and Mobile Crowdsensing to address gaps in network broadband coverage in the United States. NetGauge utilizes community-informed and designed mobile games to crowdsource internet measurements as part of a citizen science effort for improved internet access in places that need it.

Responsibilities and Accomplishments:

• Co-designed 11 playful data collection concepts with members of the Flagstaff community.
• Co-designed over a dozen data collection concepts with 20 members of a care organization for adults with disabilities.
• Developed and deployed a cross-platform mobile app for playful data collection using Flutter.

LLMs for Human-Centered Literature Reviews

In this project, we are assessing commercial LLM capabilities in evaluating experiential data from playful health literature in SIGACCESS. We also have developed a prompting pipeline to support fairness, accountability, and transparency in using LLMs for human-centered literature reviews.

2025-Current

Responsibilities and Accomplishments:

• Supported design of a pipeline that gathers LLM self-reported confidence, reasoning, and levels of effort in extracting data from PDFs.
• Ran a study with four commercial LLMs and 200+ research articles from SIGACCESS.
• Analyzed findings using Pandas and SciKit-Learn.
