Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAndrea Cuadra is an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at Olin College whose research and teaching sit at the intersection of human-computer interaction, inclusive design, and AI, with a focus on how design decisions affect marginalized communities. She brings a decade of industry and academic experience—from UX research roles at Google, Sidewalk Labs, Yahoo, and Hopper to a postdoc at Stanford and a PhD from Cornell Tech—coupling rigorous research with hands-on product design. Andrea’s career arc is a boomerang back to Olin, reflecting a consistent commitment to education and community-building that began with founding maker groups and summer camps long before academia. Her work is notable for pairing social-justice-centered pedagogy with practical design alternatives that anticipate both benefits and harms of emerging technologies.
