About Laura M. Stanley
I am a passionate and experienced HCI/UX leader with over 17 years of expertise in designing and developing immersive web/mobile and virtual reality consumer experiences for federal agencies and industry partners. I currently serve as an Associate Professor of Human Computer Interaction at Montana State University-Bozeman, where I teach and mentor 200+ students and professionals each year, and as the Director of User Experience at IntelligHealth, a provider of XR, Wearables, and AI-enabled technology for mental health. In both roles, I leverage my skills in user research, data analysis, research design, and UX strategy to create human-centered computing applications that address the needs and preferences of diverse users. I specialize in using immersive technology, such as virtual, augmented, and mixed reality, and affective/emotional AI computing techniques through wearables, to create personalized and engaging interventions for mental health, pain management, and opioid use disorder. As a transformational leader, I am committed to driving excellence and innovation in research and design, and have successfully led and delivered numerous large-scale projects with industry and government partners, such as Prisma Health, IBM, and the National Science Foundation. I am also a TEDx speaker and a prolific author of publications and patents in the field of HCI/UX.
