Who am I?

I’m Hans Djalali, a PhD candidate at UNT working on real-world usability and accessibility. I study how developers discuss and fix problems (Stack Overflow, SLRs) and build accessibility prototypes that people can use. I teach and mentor student teams, run hands-on projects, and try to make everyday tools easier for people—on and off campus.
