Elena Nu帽ez Castellar is an Assistant Professor in the Human-Technology Interaction group at Eindhoven University of Technology. Her work explores human factors, including cognitive abilities crucial for developing human-centered AI tools. By examining aspects such as the role of attention in AI-driven human-computer interactions or how trustworthiness influences user's behaviors, her research aims to inform the design of responsible AI applications.

Building on her interdisciplinary experience, her tenure track is structured around three key pillars. The first explores the intersection of EEG and AI-driven technologies, such as brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), examining their potential and limitations. The second investigates, from a network-neuroscience perspective, the attentional demands involved in interacting with user-centered AI tools. The third addresses the human and ethical dimensions of AI regulation, particularly within the EU-AI Act. She is especially interested in mapping the minimal requirements for effective human oversight of AI systems.

An overarching goal of the tracks is to stay connected with real-world AI use cases and make a positive impact beyond academia. This vision aligns with HTI's goal of helping new technologies deliver maximum benefits while safeguarding human wellbeing.
