Srinija Srinivasan, Co-Founder, Loove Born in India and raised in Lawrence, Kansas, Srinija Srinivasan followed her siblings to college in California. Having studied artificial intelligence at Stanford and worked at a large-scale AI project after graduating, Srinija joined Yahoo! in 1995 as their fifth employee and self-titled Ontological Yahoo. She served as Vice President, Editor-in-Chief at Yahoo! for over 15 years, where her work centered on the human experience, from the categorization system of the Yahoo! Directory to editorial and policy issues globally. During that time she also chaired the board of non-profit SFJAZZ, and these experiences together inspired her to co-found Loove, a music venture exploring how commerce and technology can be guided by artistic values rather than letting our culture be led by market values. She's a board member of the On Being Project and a vice chair of Stanford University's Board of Trustees. She lives in Palo Alto, CA and Brooklyn, NY. Momona Yamagami, Incoming Assistant Professor, Rice University Momona will be an Assistant Professor at Rice University Electrical & Computer Engineering starting summer 2023 as part of the Digital Health Initiative. Her research leverages biosignal input to support accessibility and health applied to the field of human-computer interaction (HCI). She applies data-driven modeling to develop personalized models of how people use biosignal interfaces to enhance machine and device interactions. She is currently a CREATE postdoctoral scholar at the University of Washington in Seattle, WA, advised by Prof. Jennifer Mankoff. Her current research interests include how multi-modal biosignal input can improve HCI accessibility for new and emerging technology like virtual reality and support the health of people with disabilities.
