We want to understand how farmers make decisions around whether or not to put solar panels on their land. We also want to know what might stop them from putting solar panels on top of farmland and still plant underneath the panels. To do this, we are asking farmers questions in small groups and through an online survey that will help us to identify what is most important to them when they make their decisions.
There is a lack of transparency when users use search engines like Google, as it doesn't clearly explain why certain results are returned. We have developed a transparent search algorithm that clearly explains why a result is returned. This study aims to ask users to test out if our system is useful. We will ask users to think of a scenario where they are searching for movies that satisfy multiple genres. Our system returns a movie's plot, and shows why that movie has a certain genre by showing relevant sentences and its confidence in its guess. The goal is to see if such explanations will help users in their search task.

I am studying the impact of stereotypes on the ability to empathize with another individual. I am also studying the impact of stereotypes on the perceptions of another individual's credibility.
