Northwestern University's Querrey InQbation Lab is hosting the FoundHer Stories series to amplify the startup stories of women scientist entrepreneurs.

Learn about Dr. Nishita Deka’s experience spinning out Sonera in 2018 while pursuing her doctorate at UC Berkeley. Dr. Deka will share how her company is building high-performance biomagnetic sensors for detecting muscle and brain activity, with the goal of building commercially viable non-invasive brain-computer interfaces.

While the FoundHer Stories series is focused on supporting women innovators and entrepreneurs, all are welcome to register.

Please register in advance.

OUR SPEAKER

Nishita Deka, Ph.D., is the co-founder and CEO of Sonera. She co-founded Sonera to commercialize a novel magnetic sensing technology for human-computer interfaces, with applications ranging from next-generation interaction modalities for personal computing to advanced healthcare monitoring and diagnostic tools. Nishita earned a Ph.D. in electrical engineering and computer sciences at the University of California, Berkeley. She has a B.S. in electrical engineering from the University of Southern California. At Berkeley, she focused on the design and fabrication of nanoscale devices for MEMS and sensing applications.

This four-day bootcamp provides an engaging, comprehensive, hands-on introduction to the Python programming language. Python is an extremely popular, general-purpose, versatile coding language with a shallow learning curve, meaning you can do a lot with the tools you’ll learn in this four-day workshop. This in-person workshop will not be recorded.

Prerequisites: You will need to bring a laptop to participate. If you're already proficient in another coding language and you're looking for a beginner's introduction to Python because you want to be able to read and run Python code written by others or utilize Python packages for machine learning, web scraping, or text analysis, you should attend at least the first two-and-a-half or three days of the bootcamp. If you're looking to become a proficient Python coder, you should attend all four days of the bootcamp. The instructor will not be able to help you catch up if you miss materials.

Registration Required. Register only once for all four days of this bootcamp.
