A bit more about me...
My academic passions center around Human-Computer Interactions and Brain-Computer Interfaces. Some of my mini-passions include web development, open-source technology, and empowering women in tech.
I am particularly interested in improving human interactions with technology in our digital world by bringing together new concepts and research from the fields of psychology, data science, and computing. I strongly believe in the need for experimental and creative ideas to drive innovation.
