Every Budget, Built Once: Human-⁠in-⁠the-⁠Loop AI for Grant Budgeting

With the Office of Research Information Services, I led product and UX research for an AI-assisted redesign of SAGE, the university's research budgeting system. The AI copies and pre-fills budget data, a grant manager confirms each value against its source, and submission and sign-off stay with a person. The redesign is projected to cut grant manager workload by 25 to 33%.

Locate and Recall: Jump to Any Term in a Long Equation, Without Re-⁠reading

As project lead, I ran the research with a blind student who works through calculus by screen reader. Together we built a recall tool: a keyboard shortcut speaks back any earlier term, so he keeps his place. He rated it 9 to 9.5 out of 10 against a human scribe.

Ratings from 0 to 5 for Clearview AI, Face++, AnyVision and Trueface on 28 governance metrics. On human oversight, Clearview AI rates 4 and the other three rate 0.28 METRICSHUMAN OVERSIGHTClearview AIFace++AnyVisionTruefaceRATING012345
