About

Shaundra 'Shani B' Daily is the Cue Family Professor of the Practice in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Duke University. Her research focuses on analyzing, designing, and building sociotechnical systems - the complex interactions between people, technology, and social structures - to support meaningful participation and success in STEM fields. Her work encompasses four interconnected strategies: 1) Understanding sociotechnical ecosystems through mixed methods approaches that analyze how social structures, cultural contexts, and technical systems influence STEM participation and success; 2) Employing participatory approaches that empower communities to shape technology development; 3) Designing technologies that enhance emotional development, support interpersonal skills, and facilit
