Hi, I’m Chesta Dewangan, a Master’s student in Computer Science at UIC. I’m passionate about human-computer interaction, data science, and building interfaces that are both beautiful and usable. I love teaching and mentoring through WIEP and Girls Who Code, I design curricula and run hands-on Arduino and CAD workshops to spark interest in STEM. I’ve built interactive visualizations and dashboards (e.g., CKD risk dashboards, Alzheimer’s speech-biomarker visualizations) and enjoy translating complex data into accessible visuals. I’m excited to collaborate with diverse teams to create impactful software, bridge research and practice, and empower others to explore CS.…Hi, I’m Chesta Dewangan, a Master’s student in Computer Science at UIC.
