2026 HCDE Research Showcase
Tuesday, April 28
4 – 6 p.m.
University of Washington Club
The HCDE Research Showcase highlights ongoing work by faculty, research scientists, postdocs, PhD students, and undergraduates in the University of Washington's Department of Human Centered Design & Engineering. This event is designed to build community around HCDE research and foster conversation across our community of students, alumni, friends, and the broader UW community.
Showcase attendees will explore posters and interactive project demos and have the opportunity to speak with researchers across HCDE’s research clusters and topic areas.
This event is open to the public, with light refreshments and a cash bar available.
Call for submissions
We invite submissions from the HCDE research community in three formats:
- Poster
- Interactive demonstration
- Lightning talk (3 minutes, 1 slide; a high-impact overview of research or project)
You may submit multiple presentation ideas, and you may submit a lightning talk in addition to a poster or demo.
How to submit
Please submit your poster, demo, and/or lightning talk ideas via this form by Tuesday, February 17, 2026 at 5 p.m.
