Maria Beatriz Silva

I am a Presidential Honors Scholar studying Computer Science at NYU’s Courant Institute with a minor in Mathematics. As a Research Assistant at NYU’s Immersive Computing Lab, I work on problems at the intersection of computer graphics, human perception, and machine learning. My work is driven by the commitment to ensure technology is developed with the needs of its users in mind and by the desire to reshape who gets to participate in and benefit from technological innovation.

I’m excited to share that I’ve been selected as one of the 63 finalists for the National Center for Women & Information Technology (NCWIT) Aspirations in Computing Award for my work on GeneVA (project description here)!

The NCWIT Award for Aspirations in Computing honors young women and gender-expansive students for their computing-related achievements and interests. The award recognizes technical contributions to prokects with a high potential for impact.

Thank you to all of my collaborators on the project!
