Dr. Grigsby received her doctorate in Bioengineering at the University of Pittsburgh. Her doctoral research focused on using brain-computer interface to study how the time course of population neural activity evolves so that we can smoothly and effectively interact with the world.

This virtual event is part of CEE's STEM Lyceums, a series of monthly virtual meetings that engage high school students in discussion and exploration of STEM concepts and unique STEM career pathways, provided at no cost to schools or students. Students interact with STEM professionals and fellow students, both national and international. Meetings foster critical thinking skills, encourage excitement for science, and prepare students to enter STEM careers. CEE's STEM Lyceums partners include Virginia Bio, United Negro College Fund, and the Urban League of Hampton Roads.
