Jaisie is a PhD candidate studying Human-Computer Interaction at the Faculty of Information University of Toronto, under the supervision of Dr. Cosmin Munteanu. She received an Honours Bachelor of Science at the University of Toronto, with a specialist in Computer Science and a major in Neuroscience. She also has a Masters of Information in User Experience Design from the University of Toronto. Her research is on conversational and voice user interfaces, virtual agents, the inclusive design of technology for older adults, issues of social marginalization, and virtual reality. Her research projects have investigated older adults' perceptions of smart speakers, the role of technology on social wellbeing, and how voice interaction can be used in virtual reality. Jaisie has published at conferences such as CHI, CUI, and MobileHCI, and journals such as the Journal of Human-Computer Interaction.
