Lucine Oganesian, PhD Student in Electrical and Computer Engineering
Talk: Data-Driven Modeling of Network-Wide Mood Dynamics

Lucine Oganesian received her B.S. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences from UC Berkeley in 2016. She worked as a software engineer at Google for 4 years before joining the Electrical Engineering department at USC as a Ph.D. student. Her interests lie at the intersection of statistical signal processing, control theory, and neural engineering. When not at her computer, she can be found in the kitchen or at a park training capoeira.
