Hi, my name is Michael Nguyen and I’d like to first introduce myself to the Human-Computer Interaction Lab at the University of New Hampshire (UNH) blog page as one of the fortunate students in IRES program.
I’m currently an undergraduate student studying industrial engineering at Montana State University-Bozeman (MSU). My background as an undergrad ranges from operations management and process improvement to human factors, usability, and interaction design. I also have a background in nonprofits being a Student Ambassador for the Montana State University Alumni Foundation where I help advance MSU’s resources . At Montana State University I have performed research under Nicholas J. Ward at the Western Transportation Institute, which is the country’s largest National University Transportation Center focused on rural transportation issues. I hope to continue my education after receiving my bachelors degree in the realm of user experience.
I will be sharing my experiences throughout the UNH IRES program in this blog.
Following Drea in suit, I would also like to thank everyone at the University of Stuttgart for being more than accommodating to myself and the group during our stay. Thank you Professor Albrecht Schmidt, Anja Mebus, Bastian Pfleging, Yomna Abdelrahman, Markus Funk, Miriam Greis, Mariam A. Hassib, Lars Lischke, Alireza Sahami, Stefan Schneegass, Florian Alt, Nora Broy, Sven Mayer, Mauro Avila, Katrin Wolf, and anyone else I might have forgotten.
