(profiled in 2020) Meet Emma Stein ‘20, who just graduated with a major in Cognitive Science and minors in both Computer Science and Mass Communication. Emma somehow managed to do all that and still spend a semester abroad in Barcelona! Emma chose Cognitive Science because she wanted an interdisciplinary major that could be applied to the real world. Emma worked on research with Professor Jia aiming to create a dataset search engine that will assist scientists in locating data for exploratory analysis and testing hypotheses. Her favorite part of the research was being able to learn and work on her own time and having a say in the way her team approached problems. Reflecting on her years at Lehigh, Emma’s favorite experience in the Cognitive Science major has been a course on artificial intelligence and machine learning in education. She was able to explore how technology is affecting the education community. Emma is heading off to a job at PwC as a tech consultant in the division of data and analytics.
