Veronica Pimenova

Researcher at Carnegie Mellon

📍 Pittsburgh, PA

Hi, I'm Veronica! 🙂

I am a rising senior at Carnegie Mellon University studying Information Systems & Human-Computer Interaction. I do research within accessible software design & development at Carnegie Mellon's Software and Societal Systems department, advised by Andrew Begel and Aaron Steinfeld.

My research focuses on the intersection of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Human Computer Interaction, and I am passionate about inclusivity for minority groups, especially for women and those with neurodiversities. Focusing on accessibility, I am developing a more inclusive learning platform for individuals with cognitive disabilities to learn to code at their own pace.

I am in my second year of this research, where I am currently leading a study in which I am testing the algorithm my team developed on potential users with ADHD in the Pittsburgh area.
