Blending Research and Instruction in Data-Generated Environments

The intent behind creating an additional node on our campus’s diverse network of research labs is to replicate the collaborative working model that progresses interdisciplinary research. We want to leverage the space as a safe environment to make mistakes, play with content, and inspire the next generation of data-driven social scientists. In the hopes of bridging the gaps of technical knowledge between faculty and students, and across our 18 departments, please consider partnering with us as we embark on this new journey together. 

Current devices found in the lab:


  • 1 HTC Vive Pro Eye
  • 5 Oculus Quest 1’s
  • 2 Oculus Quest 2’s
  • 6 Oculus Quest 3s on loan via Dr. Angie Denisse Otiniano Verissimo
