- Dialogue, multimodal interaction, language and vision
- Information retrieval and information visualization
- Cognitive modeling of language and speech processing and of human decision
making
- Educational and assistive technology, human-computer interaction, learning
analytics

Approximately 15 studentships from a variety of sources are available,
