Chanthea Quinland ( She/Her )

Graduate Student in Human-Computer Interaction at Carleton University

Chanthea is a graduate student in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) at Carleton University, bringing passion and focus to STEM education, cybersecurity, and equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI). Her work explores how interactive technologies can make complex STEM concepts more accessible while embedding principles of fairness and security into digital learning environments.

As part of the research team, Chanthea contributes to projects like EDIT-STEM by designing user-centered solutions that prioritize diverse learner needs. Her cybersecurity expertise ensures that educational tools are robust and safe, while her commitment to EDI drives her to create inclusive interfaces that welcome underrepresented voices into STEM fields. She approaches HCI with an eye toward practical impact—developing systems that not only teach technical skills but also foster critical thinking, ethical awareness, and community belonging.

Chanthea thrives in interdisciplinary collaboration, bridging technical development with human-centered design to advance educational technologies that empower all students. Her dual focus on security and inclusion positions her to shape the next generation of STEM learning tools that are both innovative and equitable.
