I am currently in the last semester of my PhD, and therefore not able to take on any more students for the time being.

Evropi Stefanidi is a PhD student and research assistant at the Digital Media Lab at the University of Bremen.

Evropi completed a Computer Science Bachelor’s Degree (BSc) at the University of Crete, Greece, and the Graduate Program in Computer Science and Engineering (MSc) at the University of Crete, Greece. During her MSc studies, she completed a one-year internship at the MIRALab of the University of Geneva, under Prof. Nadia Magnenat Thalmann. During her BSc and MSc studies at the Computer Science Department of the University of Crete, she completed part-time internships at the Institute of Computer Science, Foundation of Research and Technology - Hellas (FORTH).

Her current research interests include designing technologies that support the well-being of both neurotypical and neurodiverse children and their families, including designing for technology-mediated reflection and empowerment.
