Alexandra W.D. Bremers

I’m a PhD Candidate in Information Science at Cornell University, based at Cornell Tech in New York City. I work with Wendy Ju and François Guimbretière on interactive, intelligent physical machines that support people during fabrication tasks. My minor is in computer science, with a focus on computer vision and graphics. I am a Cornell PiTech AI in Arts & Culture Fellow.

I’ve previously interned at Walt Disney Imagineering R&D, Accenture Labs, Toyota Research Institute, and National Taiwan University. Before Cornell, I worked in industry as a Human-Machine Interface Researcher at Jaguar Land Rover in the UK, collaborating with the University of Cambridge. While at Jaguar, I was selected for Oxford-Cambridge RisingWISE, and recognized for innovation through JLR & Tata Innovista.

My academic background includes an M.S. in Information Science (Cornell), an M.S. in Artificial Intelligence (Utrecht University), and a B.S. in Industrial Design (TU Eindhoven, see my portfolio). In 2020, I was awarded the Royal Commission for the Exhibition of 1851 Industrial Fellowship to pursue a PhD in Engineering at the University of Cambridge.

My work sits at the intersection of human-computer interaction, design, and emerging technologies. Alongside research, I maintain a creative practice and have received recognition in design, writing, and art.
