Judith Amores

Judith Amores is a Senior Researcher at Microsoft Research working on Adaptive Human-AI Experiences: AI systems that adapt to people and their environments in real time to create more personalized, effective, and immersive experiences. Her work sits at the intersection of human-computer interaction, multimodal AI, sensing, and interactive systems, integrating multimodal sensing, generative AI, physiological computing, and novel interfaces to enable systems that adapt to context, behavior, and intent in real time.

Judith develops technologies spanning adaptive wearables, mixed reality experiences, creator tools, interactive world generation, physiological computing, and olfactory interfaces. She is particularly interested in adaptive systems that support creativity, wellbeing, cognition, and immersive experiences.

Her research has been published in venues including CHI, UIST, NeurIPS, and Cell Systems. Her work has been featured by organizations such as the BBC and Scientific American and has received Best Paper and Best Demo Awards, the Scent Innovator Award from CEW and International Flavors & Fragrances (IFF), the Facebook Graduate Fellowship, and the INK Fellowship.

Judith received her Ph.D. degree in 2020 and Master’s degree from the MIT Media Lab (opens in new tab), where she investigated Olfactory Interfaces (opens in new tab) and adaptive multisensory technologies and served as co-president of VR/AR at MIT. She subsequently joined Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital as a Research Fellow, where she worked on technology-driven interventions for health and wellbeing. Earlier in her career, she worked as a Creative Technologist at Google Creative Lab (opens in new tab) and completed two internships at Microsoft Research focused on augmented and virtual reality experiences. She also holds a multimedia engineering degree from La Salle University (opens in new tab) in Barcelona, Spain.
