About

Konstantinos Zachos is a leading researcher at the intersection of human-computer interaction, creativity support, and digital journalism. His work focuses on designing computational tools that enhance human creativity, particularly in high-pressure professional environments. His most notable contribution is the development of the INJECT platform, a suite of digital tools that help journalists overcome time and resource constraints to produce more innovative and investigative stories. Zachos’s research directly addresses the crisis in modern journalism, where shrinking newsrooms threaten the depth of reporting. By providing journalists with AI-driven prompts and creative scaffolding, his work has demonstrated how technology can augment—rather than replace—human ingenuity. With his most-cited paper, "Using computational tools to support journalists’ creativity," accumulating 14 citations, Zachos is establishing a growing footprint in the field. His achievements include bridging the gap between creativity research and practical newsroom innovation, offering a model for how computational support can preserve the integrity of investigative journalism in the digital age.
