Andrea Bravo

PhD Fellow - Information Presentation & Data Visualization: Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, Tangible User Interfaces

• Copenhagen Metropolitan Area

Senior information UX designer & lecturer specialized in the communication and visualization of data with new media technologies. My interdisciplinary knowledge brings skilled expertise in the visual creative domain with user-centered methods (UX) and theoretical knowledge in human-computer interaction and cognitive science. My research at DTU focuses on the way of communicating and interacting with data with new media technologies such as Tangible User Interfaces, Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality.

I have a solid international experience as a lecturer and senior information UX designer. Initially I worked in the advertising and fashion industry in Paris and Barcelona for 5 years before switching to research.

Today, I pursue my PhD studies next to my activity as a designer participating in projects merging science, art, and technology in order to make visible and accessible science and engineering research to the wide public.

I consult for companies and accept commissioned work. Please check the following website: https://andreabravo.com/

Nevicia Case, PhD candidate

How can we create tangible global-scale impact on human health?

I'm currently a doctoral researcher with over 6 years of graduate-level clinical research experience trying to answer this question every day.

I've had the opportunity of direct mentorship from a broad range of brain scientists at the University of Calgary and McGill University, ranging from social psychologists to neurologists. Through these mentorships, I've learned to:
- Source high quality medical science information
- Critically evaluate information
- Identify current gaps in scientific knowledge
- Conduct clinical research with methodological rigour and ethical compliance
- Analyse and interpret data
- Communicate research findings to diverse audiences

It has become clear to me that the applications of high quality medical science research reach far beyond academia. I've become enthusiastic to help research get from academia to market.

Equipped with PMI and other management courses, I co-founded the Health Innovation Initiative and assumed executive positions in McGill's student government. In these roles, I've successfully led several innovation and entrepreneurship events attended by 600+ students and members of the broader Montreal community through a combination of bootstrapping, grants, and corporate fund-raising.

I have also demonstrated passion for the intersections of Mental Health, Technology, and Entrepreneurship through my involvement in numerous local and international extra-curricular projects in areas diverse as mental health of incarcerated youth to "intelligence testing" of artificial intelligence systems.

I offer my academic expertise in neuropsychology and human brain functioning to the industry development of health technologies, artificial intelligence, and social innovations for impactful global mental health applications.

Interests: Adviser, consultant, medical science liaison, medical writer, regulatory affairs official, application scientist.
