Hi! My name is Danniell, but I usually go by Danni.
I’m a PhD Candidate in Computer Science at the University of Michigan, advised by Elizabeth Bondi-Kelly in the Realize Lab and Westley Weimer in the Weimer Research Group.
Previously, I was an R&D Embedded Software Engineer at Stryker, where I developed PCBs and software for hospital bed ecosystems and medical monitoring technologies. I primarily worked in the medical division.
Outside of research, music is a huge part of my life. I’ve been playing violin for 18 years (and counting!) and continue to be involved by playing in the University of Michigan’s Campus Symphony Orchestra. I also love sewing, crocheting, cooking, and playing multiplayer competitive video games.
