Miranda C. Parker, Ph.D.

I am an Assistant Professor in the Computer Science department at San Diego State University. My research is in computer science education, where I focus on understanding the factors that inhibit equitable computing access and achievement and leveraging low-cost interventions to mitigate the impact of those factors. I graduated with a Ph.D. from Georgia Tech in Human-Centered Computing, advised by Mark Guzdial. My dissertation research focused on questions of access and barriers to computer science courses at the high school level within the state of Georgia. I was also a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellow and a Georgia Tech President’s Fellow. Previously, I interned with code.org and worked on the K-12 CS Framework. I attended Harvey Mudd College and graduated in 2014 with a B.S. in Computer Science.
