The Accessibility and Privacy Enhancing EXperience (APEX) Lab is led by Dr. Taslima Akter in the College of AI, Cyber, and Computing at the University of Texas at San Antonio. Our research focuses on advancing privacy and accessibility for marginalized populations, with a particular focus on people with disabilities. To learn more about our work, explore our recent publications. Visit the People page to meet the team driving our research forward.
We have evaluated the accessibility of 30 widely used collaborative technologies. Find the paper here.
