Democratizing Cognitive Science

DIYSciThai

Workshop Creator; Co-organizer

2016

DIYSciThai was an Open Science workshop taught in Bangkok, Thailand in June 2016. This two-day workshop is the basis of an open science initiative to provide an integrative curriculum to teach cognitive science through experiential learning.

This DIY workshop featured building research electronics (eye-tracker and EEG) from open-source hardware, and low-cost electronics.

This workshop was supported by grants from Fulbright Thailand, the Open and Collaborative Science in Development Network (OCSDnet), and NYU.

Executive Summary

At Mozilla, I supported our Revenue and Business Development teams with analytic support. Relatedly, I worked with our product team on the Awesome Bar, our combined address bar and search product within the Firefox Browser, and researched how to improve the user experience with finding things on the web.

Previously, I have worked with one of our product development teams, Test Pilot, to rapidly iterate on new features for the browser. Within the company, I taught introductory courses in data visualization and data analysis to build product intuition and inform product decisions. I also served as a data steward to help safeguard user privacy and control over their data.
