Mauricio Villavicencio

I’m a first-year Ph.D. student in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Maryland College Park, where I’ll be working with Fumeng Yang at the FIGX Lab.

My research interests lie in how human-AI decision-making is influenced by uncertainty, time, and stress, and in building interfaces that align proper AI usage with target user behavior.

I received my B.S. and M.S. in Computer Science at the University of Minnesota, under the advisement of Qianwen Wang as a member of the Visual Intelligence Lab. Previously, I was an intern at Mayo Clinic and at Boston Scientific, where I worked on machine learning applications in healthcare.
