ProtoLab

UC San Diego’s ProtoLab investigates the foundations of collective intelligence, creativity, feedback exchange, and decision making using human-centered design, data science, qualitative methods, and system prototyping. We design and develop novel social computing systems – leveraging LLMs,
crowdsourcing, visualization, and ubiquitous devices that scaffold problem solving for individuals, teams, and communities. Our goal is to investigate the cognitive, social, organizational, and cultural aspects of design.
