As adjunct faculty teaching graduate students Consumer Neuroscience and Foundations of Media Psychology, I have recently worked with the Department of Defense and Department of Homeland Security to understand the impact media, narratives and rapid real-time prototyping have in the context of disrupting ISIL radicalization. We showed how media can be merged with the knowledge of human behavior and emerging technology to support and shape a narrative that is influential in combating terrorism. 
The media and technology landscape is reshaping people’s assumptions about how they relate to others, how they engage and participate socially and commercially.  As an educator and media psychologist, I’m able to provide insights in the emerging areas of virtual reality (VR), robotics, AI, mobile devices and wearable sensor technology and speak about how technology influences personal experience and how VR can become a persuasive device capable of social change.
