Shaundra Daily
Associate Professor of the Practice in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering

My most significant contributions to science and engineering include: 1) developing new methods to utilize a virtual environment and movement as an embodied pedagogical approach to support computational thinking; 2) Integrating applications of affective computing into classrooms and promoting public conversations around emotions, privacy, and trust, and 3) enhancing the diversity of the field by engaging wide and diverse audiences in the practice of computing and specifically recruiting and mentoring women and minorities into the field.

Current Research Interests

Human-centered design and engineering, affective computing, broadening participation in STEM, interaction design and evaluation for technology-rich learning environments
