Tamanna Motahar
Ph.D. Student
I am a 4th year PhD Student, working with Prof. Jason Wiese in Personal Data and Empowerment Lab (PeDEL) of Kahlert School of Computing at the University of Utah.
My research interest sits broadly at the intersection of Human Computer Interaction (HCI), Personal Informatics, and Accessibility. Through a user-centric approach, my research aims to understand how Personal Informatics can better help individuals with severe motor disabilities; particularly those who have sustained spinal cord injuries and use powered wheelchairs for mobility. As a researcher, my goal is to design accessible technologies to impact and empower marginalized populations worldwide with their personal data.
