Technology shapes nearly every moment of our lives, yet it often fails the people it is meant to serve. I first understood this when I watched my grandmother struggle to use a banking app. She was intelligent, capable, and determined, but the interface assumed knowledge she had no reason to possess. Tiny icons, unlabeled menus, and confusing error messages left her feeling that she was the problem. I realized then that she wasn't failing the technology; the technology was failing her. That moment set me on a path toward human-computer interaction.
Since then, I have looked for opportunities to bridge the gap between people and the systems they use. In my introductory programming courses, I enjoyed writing code, but I found myself most energized when I asked what happened after the code was finished: who would use it, in what context, and with what frustrations? When I volunteered to redesign my university club's website, I interviewed members, observed how they searched for information, and tested prototypes with them. Seeing a once-confusing event registration process become something people could complete in under a minute was deeply satisfying. It showed me that thoughtful design is not decoration; it determines whether a tool empowers or excludes.
I am drawn to HCI because it unites disciplines I care about: psychology, design, engineering, and ethics. It asks technical questions alongside human ones. How do we build systems that are accessible to people with disabilities? How can we design AI tools that are transparent and trustworthy? How do we create technology that respects attention and wellbeing rather than exploiting them? These questions grow more urgent as interfaces move beyond screens into voice, gesture, and immersive environments.
I want to study HCI formally to gain rigorous research methods, deepen my understanding of cognition and behavior, and learn from faculty who are shaping the field. I am eager to collaborate with peers from diverse backgrounds, because good design depends on many perspectives.
My long-term goal is to work on inclusive technologies, whether in research or industry, that make people feel capable rather than confused. I want to build systems that meet people where they are, so that no one else feels the way my grandmother did. Studying HCI is the next step toward making that vision real.

Almost all aspects of our lives are interconnected with technology; however, gadgets, applications, and devices do not always fulfill the purposes they are meant for. I realized it when I was watching my grandmother being unable to use the banking application. She was both smart enough and trying hard to solve the problem but the interface has certain requirements which she was unable to meet. Small icons, unnamed sections of the menu, and unclear error messages caused the feeling that it was her fault. At that moment, I understood that technology was to blame for the failure.
After receiving this knowledge, I was searching for the opportunities to connect people with technology. During the first programming classes, I enjoyed writing coding but what impressed me the most was the understanding of what happens after coding is done. While volunteering to improve the website of my university club, I was interviewing club members to learn how exactly they look for information on the website. I transformed something difficult into a process that can be completed in less than one minute.
My interest to HCI exists because this discipline includes the fields of knowledge I am interested in such as psychology, design, engineering, and ethics. It combines technical questions with questions regarding human beings. How to make accessible systems that are aimed at people with disabilities? How to develop trustworthy AI systems? How to create technology that respects and cares for attention wellbeing?
I want to study HCI in order to learn accurate methods of research, to extend my knowledge of cognition and behavior processes and to work with brilliant teachers who are great professionals. I would like to cooperate with individuals from different countries because the quality of a product may depend on different opinions and approaches from around the world.
My aim is to develop inclusive systems in either business or academic settings and prevent the situation when people feel confused and helpless.

Nearly every activity in our lives is influenced by technology, which all too frequently fails to serve the very people it was designed to help. Back then when I observed my grandmother's difficulty in using a banking application, I got a glimpse of this. She was bright and able and resolute but the interface took for granted knowledge she didn't need to have. She was left feeling that she was to blame because of the very small icons, menus that weren't labeled, and confusing error messages. At that moment I knew she wasn't the problem with the technology, it was the technology with her. This experience set me on a course toward the field of human/computer interaction.
So, I have been searching for chances to connect people and processes since then. In my first few years of teaching introductory programming, I really liked coding but was really energised by asking students: When your code is complete who will be using it, how and what needs would they have? I designed the new website for my university club and interviewed some of the group, watched them navigate searching for information and tested prototypes with them. It was so satisfying to see an event registration process which was crazy in their minds made so easy to be completed in less than one minute. It taught me that “design thinking” is not just for show — it can either enable or discourage.
I became interested in HCI because it is a field that brings together STEM related fields that I'm passionate about — psychology, design, engineering, and ethics. Inquires about technical matters and human ones. How to make systems accessible for persons with disabilities? What are suitable designs to ensure transparency and trustworthiness of AI products? How to make technologies that do not compromise attention and wellbeing but honor them? Meanwhile, as interfaces shift from screens to voice, gestures and immersive interfaces, the need for these questions becomes more pressing.
I am interested in taking formal classes in HCI to learn some strong research techniques, to better understand cognition and behavior, and to learn from experts in this field. I love working with other people with different views as many viewpoints equal good design.
My ultimate vision is to engage in inclusive technology development, either as researchers or as practitioners in the tech industry, where people feel empowered, not confused! I would like to create systems that engage people where they are, not let my grandmother feel this way. The study of HCI is the next step towards realising that vision.
