Polsky Research Fellow, 2026
Haley Li is a second-year undergraduate student at UChicago pursuing CS and Physics. Her interests include providing technological solutions to environmental problems. As a Polsky Research Fellow, Li worked with Pedro Lopes and Jasmine Lu on a computer vision tool to recycle printed circuit boards, to be used in the lab and beyond. Li mainly worked on integrating the already existing package into a website application.
“I really enjoyed finishing my project and getting to spend time with the other people in my lab. For many days, all I did was work on my website, so getting to see what everyone else was working on and participating in user studies was the highlight of my internship experience. The work of the HCI lab was quite interesting and it’s somewhere I want to work in during the school year as well and I had a great time getting to know everyone.”
