Hi, I am Donya

My personal goal is to help advance and improve the future of technology by designing and evaluating novel interactions that can help people directly.

I am equally passionate about both science and art and feel that it is the creative process that can solve problems.

In 2011, I moved to the United States. After graduation from university, I have consistently looked for challenging opportunities and have worked in different roles to expand my knowledge base.

Currently, I’m a Human-Computer Interaction researcher at the University of California, Merced.

Topics/ Technologies of Interest:

• Human-computer interaction
• Information visualization
• Technology to support health, well-being + quality of life
