Collaboration

Collaborate with the BAT Lab

The BAT Lab welcomes academic, public-sector, nonprofit, and industry conversations that align with its research and educational mission. The appropriate university pathway depends on the scope of each collaboration.

Ways to work together

Research and education pathways.

The lab can discuss projects that call for human factors or UX expertise, empirical evaluation, and human-centered guidance for emerging technologies.

Human Factors and UX Research

Study design, human-centered requirements, interface evaluation, and evidence-based recommendations for intelligent or emerging technologies.

Empirical Studies and Human-in-the-Loop Evaluation

Controlled experiments, simulation studies, user research, and behavioral or physiological measurement for evaluating concepts and prototypes.

External Advisory and Consulting

External advisory and consulting engagements can address human factors, UX, intelligent systems, and emerging technologies. Each engagement is shaped around the client’s needs and carried out in accordance with applicable university policies.

Courses, Workshops, and Industry Education

Custom short courses, workshops, and curriculum can be developed around an organization’s needs and delivered on site or online, with a focus on human-centered AI, automation, mobility, and embodied intelligence.

International and Short-Term Visits

Visiting students, scholars, or professional groups can inquire about a focused research or educational experience. Any visit is shaped around project fit and coordinated through the appropriate university and international-program channels.

Sponsored and Collaborative Research

Joint proposals and research partnerships that connect practical problems with rigorous human-centered methods.

Engagements involving university resources, students, sponsored research, course delivery, or structured visits are subject to fit, availability, and the appropriate San José State University coordination, review, and agreement processes.
