Hello, I'm Vineet Pandey.
I'm a human-computer interaction researcher.
I build social computing systems. My research supports motivated communities in performing scientific work that is personally meaningful, institutionally relevant, and that advances our understanding of health, disorders, and climate change.
I am currently doing postdoctoral research at MIT with Arvind Satyanarayan. Starting Fall 2023, I will be an Assistant Professor in the School of Computing at the University of Utah.
As a Postdoctoral Fellow at Harvard University, I collaborated with multiple rare disorder communities (SCAs, ALS, Ataxia-telangiectasia) and neurologists at Mass General Hospital to advance our understanding of neurological disorders with remote health assessment tools (In Submission 2022, The Cerebellum 2021).
During my Ph.D. in Computer Science from UC San Diego, I worked with microbiologists at the American Gut Project and fermenters to support community-led experimentation with novel online platforms.
My dissertation work was awarded the 2019 School of Engineering Henry Booker Award for Exemplary Ethical Engineering. Defense Video
Main Projects
Citizen-Expert Collaboration with Tools for Assessing Motor Impairment
Remote motor performance assessment tools reliably estimate severity of motor impairments with a few minutes of use at home. These systems contribute a novel class of methods to remotely track condition severity without using expert time. At-home deployments have evaluated the tool with three neurological disorder communities.
Work in progress; Papers in Preparation.

Gut Instinct: Citizen-led Experimentation with a Bespoke Social Computing Platform
Three built-from-scratch social computing systems--Galileo, Docent, Vanilla GI--enable citizen-led novel scientific work without involving experts. These systems contribute principles to integrate conceptual and procedural guidance in social computing for collaborative complex work like experimentation. The Gut Instinct platform has been tested with field deployments with over 600 participants.
