Ana Rodrigues

Ana Rodrigues is a computational designer. This means that she often works at the intersection of design and computer science. Currently she is enrolled in the Doctoral Program of Information Science and Technology at the University of Coimbra where she focuses on the development of cross-modal associations for design languages. She performs her research at the Computational Design and Visualization Lab. (CMS/CISUC). At this same institution she teaches as an Invited Assistant in the areas of graphic design and physical computing.

She is particularly interested in exploring computational bridges that may emerge from crossing the domains of Image, Music, and Cognitive Science. Other interests of her include Computational Creativity and Artificial Intelligence.
