About
Hi, I'm Naveena Nagaraju, and I'm a Ph.D. student in Industrial and Systems Engineering at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. I graduated from the University of Pittsburgh in 2025 with a Master's degree in Information Science. During my master's, I worked with research labs at Pitt focused on AI, and after graduating I worked as a Data Analyst, which grew my interest in AI and how humans interact with it in everyday life even further. This interest goes back to my undergrad, and I'm excited to bring that experience into the ARCS lab and contribute to research on human-AI teaming.
