About

Esha Shandilya is a researcher specializing in human-computer interaction (HCI), aging technology, and the intersection of artificial intelligence with accessible design. Her work centers on understanding how older adults perceive, adopt, and navigate challenges when using AI-enabled everyday technologies — a critically underexplored area as aging populations increasingly encounter smart devices, conversational agents, and assistive robotics in daily life. Shandilya's most notable contribution, "Understanding Older Adults' Perceptions and Challenges in Using AI-enabled Everyday Technologies" (2022), has garnered significant attention in the field, accumulating over 58 citations since its publication. This research addresses a crucial gap by moving beyond studies of isolated AI products to examine broader patterns in how older adults engage with AI-driven technologies, particularly in the context of physical impairments and cognitive decline. Her findings offer meaningful implications for designers, developers, and policymakers working to make emerging technologies more inclusive and age-friendly. By amplifying the voices of older adults in technology research, Shandilya contributes to a growing movement toward equitable and human-centered AI design. Her scholarship is especially valuable for students and practitioners interested in accessible technology, gerontechnology, and the social dimensions of AI adoption.
