Andujar is a Professor and Director of the Neuro-Machine Interaction Lab in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of South Florida. During his Ph.D. studies, Dr. Andujar was recognized as a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellow, a GEM Fellow, a Generation's Google Scholar, and an Intel Scholar. During his time at Intel, he had worked on measuring cognitive workload with functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) for distracted driving. Also, he was able to obtain $300,000 from a former CEO of Intel to pursue BCI work. PI is also a member of the BCI society and has been researching non-medical BCIs for more than 10 years. He currently leads a research lab on non-medical BCI in computing, which is one of the few in the country. He currently has more than 40 publications, and his research has been showcased in more than 600 news outlets worldwide including the New York Times, U.S. News Associated Press, Discovery Channel, Tampa Bay Times. The PI has hosted workshops on BCI and Affective Computing at top-tier conferences: ACM CHI Conference on Human Factors on Computing Systems and Ubicomp. He has given a TEDx talk on BCI and inclusivity. The PI’s past work has contributed to understanding how BCI could be adapted in the educational domains to measure students’ engagement from the brain. He has also contributed to evaluating the use of BCI to help veterans understand their mental performance in real time in an AR environment [23]. According to Google ranking, his work has been published in top HCI conferences, such as CHI, Ubicomp, and Human-Computer Interaction International. Lastly, the PI is one of co-founders of the world’s first Brain-Drone Race that consist of users racing drones with their brains. Hence adapting BCI in a real-world application and sporting event.
