Tanya Goldhaber
PhD Research Student in Inclusive Design
- BS in Mechanical Engineering (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)
Tanya Goldhaber graduated from MIT in 2010 with a BS in Mechanical Engineering and minors in Brain and Cognitive Science and Music. Her primary academic concentration was in controls, but through her study of psychology and experience doing User Interface (UI) design with British Telecom (BT), she eventually became most interested in engineering design. At MIT she pursued her interest in Cognitive Science through undergraduate research at the Kanwisher Lab studying the neural basis of conceptual representations. Additionally, she was a member of the pilot class of the Gordon Engineering Leadership (GEL) Program.
Tanya is the recipient of both a 2010 Marshall Scholarship and the Cambridge International Scholarship (CISS).
Outside of the lab, Tanya is a member of Pembroke College and is events officer on the Pembroke Graduate Parlour committee. In addition, she is an avid violinist and plays with several music ensembles in Cambridge. She is also a member of the Cambridge University Dancesport Team and has played for the Pembroke women's squash team.
