Demetrios Karis serves as an Adjunct Lecturer in Experience Design at Bentley University while operating his independent consultancy Karis User Experience Evaluation. His academic foundation includes a BA from Swarthmore College, PhD from Cornell University, and Post Doctoral Fellowship at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, with current office location in Smith Technology Center (Room 121). Education background: BA, Swarthmore College PhD, Cornell University Post Doctoral Fellowship, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign Dr. Karis's research spans four decades with two distinct phases: early foundational work in Human-Computer Interaction focusing on speech recognition interfaces and cognitive psychology (1980s-2000s), followed by a radical pivot toward existential climate collapse analysis (2018-2025). His current scholarship integrates biophysical, political, economic, military, health, and psychological perspectives to model civilizational risks, while earlier contributions established key principles in usability testing, remote collaboration systems, and speech interface design. This evolution reflects both technical expertise in user experience methodologies and growing urgency regarding planetary-scale crises. Analysis of his 15 most recent publications reveals a clear methodological continuity—applying rigorous human factors frameworks from his HCI work to complex societal systems in his climate research—while demonstrating extraordinary disciplinary range from psychophysiology to geopolitical forecasting. Regarding academic service, no specific awards or honors are documented in available sources. His position as Adjunct Lecturer suggests primary industry engagement through his consultancy, though he maintains active teaching responsibilities in Bentley's Experience Design program. The absence of listed advisees or grants indicates his academic role may be primarily instructional rather than research-mentorship focused. Dr. Karis's independent research practice through Karis User Experience Evaluation represents his primary operational base for advancing both technical UX work and macro-scale collapse modeling.
