Logan Stevens

I am a Ph.D. student in the Embodied Dynamics Laboratory (EmD) at the University of Maryland, College Park, advised by Dr. Jun Nishida. My research area is at the intersection of human-computer interaction (HCI), extended reality (XR), learning science, and psychophysics. Historically, my research has been in XR and education; studying virtual reality (VR) locomotion and how immersion in XR environments affects the learning process with Dr. Dinesh Manocha at the UMD GAMMA Lab. Recently, I have been interested in factoring in HCI more broadly, as well as other psychophysical and cognitive effects during learning. In my free time, I enjoy rollerblading, reading about history and math, and playing retro video games!
