Eirini Schoinas is currently an undergraduate pursuing a Computing degree in the College of Creative Studies, UC Santa Barbara. Since joining the Bionic Vision Lab in Fall 2023, she has mainly worked on developing computational models of visual prostheses and neural responses to electrical stimulation in the retina and brain.

Eirini is interested in brain-computer interfaces, computational modeling, and using machine learning and data science methods to understand the brain and visual system. She is fascinated by the limitless possibilities that open up as we better understand how the brain works and how this can change the ways we interact with computers. She presented some of her research at the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Conference in Copenhagen.

In her free time, she enjoys reading, hiking, and making art.
