I am an Associate Professor in the School of Information at the University of Texas at Austin. I have a PhD (U of Toronto) and two masters' degrees in engineering (industrial and electrical) and a postdoc in cognitive psychology. I study human information interaction (a.k.a. interactive information retrieval) and apply methods from experimental cognitive psychology and neuro-physiology to understand information searchers and improve search experience. I am particularly interested in inferring and quantifying cognitive and affective phenomena in human information interaction from neuro-physiological signals and subsequently in creating models that relate and predict these phenomena. I employ eye-tracking, pupillometry, neuro-physiological signals in assessment of search as learning, reading, mind-wandering and in inferring information relevance. https://jacekg.ischool.utexas.edu/
