About Me

Hi! I'm Abir. I am an Assistant Teaching Professor in the Khoury College of Computer Sciences at Northeastern University. Prior to joining Northeastern, I received my PhD in Technology and Social Behavior (joint degree in Computer Science and Communication) from Northwestern University.

My research interests fall in the intersection of Human-Computer Interaction and Accessibility. In my research, I study and design tools to support computer-supported skilled work among disabled people. Through interviews, observations, and content analysis, my work investigates how accessibility unfolds at different stages of computer-supported skilled work - from learning specialized tools to developing professional expertise - and the central role communities of disabled practitioners play in sustaining access in their skilled practice. Drawing on these insights, I design and evaluate tools to scaffold accessible learning experiences for disabled users.
