Join the Lab

The Well-Tech Research & Design Laboratory welcomes students and volunteers from diverse disciplines (e.g., user experience, gerontology, health, and psychology) to contribute to research projects focused on a range of topics. During your time in the lab, researchers in the lab contribute to a range of research activities, including interviews, data analysis, literature reviews, co-design workshops, and more. Through this work, researchers gain hands-on experience in UX research, qualitative methods, and human factors, while working closely with a collaborative research team. We welcome students who are curious, collaborative, and interested in health, design, and real-world impact.
