Julia Goyal is pursuing a Joint Interdisciplinary PhD at the University of Waterloo between the School of Public Health and Health Systems and Department of Mechatronics and Mechanical Engineering under the supervision of Dr. Ellen MacEachen and Dr. Arash Arami respectively. By using methods of machine learning and user diaries, her doctoral research focuses on building and validating data-driven models that can classify and predict stress in caregiving work and possibly extend to other types of mid-to-high stress level jobs.
