Austin P. Wright

ML + HCI researcher and head of the Cal Poly Data Design Lab.

I’m an Assistant Professor in the Computer Science Department at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. My research in Scientific Human-Centered Machine Learning aims to solve problems intersecting machine learning, human-computer interaction, and scientific computing, by using a strong basis in both mathematical and human centered principles in deep collaboration with scientists to develop tools with usability, interpretability, and scientific impact.
