Angela Vujic is a neurotechnologist and PHD alumna from the MIT Media Lab. She works at the intersection of neuroscience, human-computer interaction and artificial intelligence to develop biosensing interfaces for emotion and mental health. Angela’s expertise lies in transferring insights from neuroscience to human-computer interaction (HCI) to create novel affect detection and interaction techniques.

Angela coined gut-brain computer interfacing (GBCI), motivated by discoveries linking gut health to mental health. She developed and tested a GBCI that could enable individuals to sense and modulate their gut state, with the goal of connecting it to their mental wellbeing. She further is working 

Previously, she completed her bachelor’s in computer science at Georgia Tech and was part of the GT BrainLab. She invented MoodLens, a novel fiber optic display integrated in EEG glasses, built to help individuals with severe paralysis express emotion via eye contact.

Angela is a NSF GRFP fellow. She has presented internationally, first-authored prestigious peer-reviewed publications, and won multiple awards for her work.
