Donna Auguste worked in software and consumer electronics industries for about 20 years, volunteered for international mission work for about 10 years and recently developed innovative sensors for the Internet of Things. Her current research, DataTip, involves using smartphone sensors to engage non-technical youth and adults in STEM learning as they create content relevant to daily living.
Donna received a Bachelor of Science degree in electrical engineering and computer sciences (EECS) from the University of California at Berkeley and a Master of Science from Regis University. Her advisors are Shelly L. Miller, a professor in mechanical engineering, and Joseph Polman, associate dean for research in the School of Education.
After receiving her PhD, Donna became the founder and CEO of Auguste Research Group, LLC, which is involved in research around sensors and actionable data science.
