Nadia Karizat
Summary
I am a PhD Candidate with 5+ years of experience being involved with leading and collaborating on human-centered research—ideation, study design, data collection, data analysis, and manuscript writing. In particular, I specialize in understanding the role of technology in people's sensitive embodied experiences (e.g., reproductive health, mental health), and its implications for design. I have strengths in qualitative methods (interviews, surveys) and am well-versed in qualitative (iterative coding, inductive/deductive coding, Situational Analysis) analyses.
