Gillian Hayes

I am Vice Provost for Graduate Education and Dean of the Graduate Division at UC Irvine. In my professor life, I am  the Robert A. and Barbara L. Kleist Professor of Informatics in the School of Information and Computer Sciences and in the School of Education and School of Medicine at UC Irvine. My research interests are in human-computer interaction, ubiquitous computing, assistive and educational technologies, and health informatics. I design, develop, deploy, and evaluate technologies to empower people to use collected data to address real human needs in sensitive and ethically responsible ways.

I am affiliated with the Laboratory for Ubiquitous Computing and Interaction, the Center for Autism Research and Treatment, the Center for Ethnography, the Center for Biomedical Informatics, the Center for Research on Information Technology & Organizations, the California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology, and the Institute for Genetics and Bioinformatics.  I am a Jacobs Foundation Senior Research Fellow alumna.  I am an alumna of the School of Interactive Computing at Georgia Tech and the College of Arts and Sciences at Vanderbilt University.  I also love to make cakes.

If you need to schedule time with me, please contact Latoya Wilson in the Graduate Division, and she will get you on my schedule.

Things I am currently excited about:

For students: If you are already a student at UCI and are interested in working with me, please check out the STAR group web page to get a sense of the kind of work my lab does and our lab manual to see if you would be a good fit in other ways. Right now, we are really only taking on new undergraduate and masters students. I don’t have the capacity for additional PhD students. As always, my students and I are not brilliant at keeping these things up to date, so my google scholar page is usually a good place to look as well.  Be sure to sort by year so you see the most recent stuff not the most cited.

Undergraduate and Masters students should commit to at least two quarters of research if you want to join our lab, with exceptions made for summer programs. You may choose to do research as part of an honors thesis or independent study or in some cases, depending on my current funding, you can be hired. Remote is fine in many cases (fieldwork is a pretty major exception), including remote opportunities for students from other universities.

If you are interested in applying to study as a graduate student in our department, please look at the information here. Please note that I am still advising students, but I have had to change my patterns of advising a little since becoming Vice Provost. Please reach out to my current students to understand what working with me is like and whether it is a good fit. I am not actively seeking additional students at this time, but both I and my current students and post-docs are happy to help you find a fit with someone else who does work like mine.

For people asking me for service: Given the enormous challenges of the pandemic and post-pandemic worlds, I am focused on the graduate students at UCI and so limiting some of my service. I am still reviewing papers and writing tenure and promotion letters. However, I have had to make priorities within these activities and am not able to do as much as I might usually. I predominantly accept review requests for which I am truly an expert and will do my best to point you to reviewers who are more expert than I am in other cases. I am currently prioritizing writing tenure and promotion letters for women and BIPOC, particularly within the UC system and particularly for full professor–as there are limited people who can write those letters.

Research: Check out the STAR Group Web page for information on my research group.   Please see my CV for most up to date publications listing. Check out my Google scholar page for details on citations, co-authors, and so on.

Open Access : I maintain an archive of my own funded research proposals online, along with the rationale for doing so here. Please check to see if you what you want is there. If not, it may be because a Co-PI has asked me not to share the work or for some other similar reason. As of May 2019, I have also now added my tenure materials there. Hope some of it is helpful but the UC is a unique place, and these materials may be most useful to those in our system. Please note, none of these things are models. Everyone is different, and I have had way more proposals rejected than funded.

I also keep an archive of old courses here. Given that my latest courses are all in Canvas and behind the UCI firewall, it is much harder to share those. Please do reach out though if you would like slides, assignments, and other materials. I am happy to share.
