My name is Brianna(Bri) Cochran. I am from a small town in WV called Bluefield. Some of my hobbies include handcrafts, baking, reading, puzzling, painting, and video games. My family owns several animals, so I an animal lover by heart. I received my bachelor's of Computer Science and bachelor's of Comprehensive Mathematics in the year 2020 from Concord University. Afterwards, I was accepted and studied for a Ph.D. at the University of Wisconsin-Madison where I worked as a Teaching and Research Assistant. My research focused primarily on Human-Computer Interaction in VR/AR for accessibility. I was involved in publishing 2 papers of which I was 2nd author to CHI and Assets conferences both highly respected. After 3 years and considerable contemplation, I decided to get my Master's in Computer Science instead of a Ph.d. and graduated in 2023.
