Hi, I'm Veronica! 🙂
I am a second year PhD student at the
University of Michigan (NSF GRFP Fellow and Rackham Merit Fellow).
Before starting at Michigan, I graduated from Carnegie Mellon University, where I was advised by Andrew Begel.
My research focuses on human factors of software work. I am interested in combining psychology/social science theories (eg. co-presence, cognitive load) with empirical software engineering to better support developer productivity and well-being, particularly for developers with disabilities in workplace settings.
I enjoy collaborating with researchers at other universities and in industry!
Read more about my recent collaborations here:
AI for Software Engineering
and
AI for Design.
Recent News: The work I did on AI use in software engineering was cited in
Microsoft Research’s 2025 New Future of Work Report
(see page 64).
