Marcela is an undergraduate student currently conducting a one-year research internship under my supervision at EvoCo. As an intern, she performs a variety of roles ranging from administrative tasks to purely research-oriented work; however, the majority of her duties focus on supporting the preparation and programming of eye-tracking experiments using Python and Linux-based open-source tools.
