About

Pantea Habibi is a Postdoctoral Fellow in the H. Milton Stewart School of Industrial and Systems Engineering at Georgia Tech. She earned her Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Illinois Chicago, where her dissertation examined how lateral asymmetry impacts user performance in mid-air input, comparing the use of preferred, non-preferred, and both hands. Her research lies at the intersection of HCI, XR, and human-centered AI, with a focus on input and interaction techniques. Pantea has collaborated on interdisciplinary projects spanning healthcare, finance, AI explainability, and VR rehabilitation. She specializes in conceptualizing interaction techniques, prototyping and integrating multimodal XR applications, and conducting human-subject experiments.
