Shaundra B. Daily

Dr. Daily is an Associate Professor of the Practice in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Duke University. Her research interest is Affective Computing, with an emphasis on examining the ways that technology-infused learning environments can provide youth with an opportunity to learn about themselves and others, and to promote conversations around emotions, privacy and trust. She has both designed and implemented innovative new technologies which combined machine learning with theories of human learning and constructionism. In the past, she has collaborated with teams on various projects, such as “The City That They Want” project, which helped learners build computational models for how they would like to improve their communities, RoBallet, which bridged dance and robotics, and Technical OutReach Community Help (T.O.R.C.H.), a program of the National Society of Black Engineers geared toward closing the digital divide. Currently, her group is designing and implementing a system to support teachers in understanding classroom engagement from a physiological perspective. She is an Institute for the Advancement of Healthcare Scholar and a Diverse Issues in Higher Education Emerging Scholar.
