Sujay Shalawadi
About
I am a Human–Computer Interaction (HCI) researcher with a computer science background. Currently, I work as a postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Design at NTNU Gjøvik, where I explore how emerging technologies such as smart home systems, self-tracking tools, and generative AI influence people’s experiences of privacy, learning, and everyday life.
My research combines technical prototyping with empirical inquiry that is both quantitative and qualitative. I focus on designing and deploying artifacts that surface value tensions or provoke reflection, particularly around automation, agency, and surveillance. During my PhD at Aalborg University, I developed the Privacy Experience–Artifact Framework and created a series of research artifacts to investigate privacy experiences in real-world contexts.
Currently, I am interested in how AI and automation intervene in personal decision-making, whether in smart homes, educational tools, or self-tracking platforms. My work draws on design research, systems thinking, and critical perspectives on user agency.
