Shane (he/him) is a Senior User Experience Researcher with the User Experience Research and Design team at CU Boulder, where he engages with students, faculty, and staff in an effort to improve their experiences across the university.
Prior to joining OIT full-time in 2017, Shane completed a truly obnoxious triple Ph.D. in Cognitive Psychology, Neuroscience, and Cognitive Science at CU Boulder. His doctoral research examined the cognitive mechanisms underlying human memory, and how they’re adapting in response to our increasingly frequent interactions with technology. He’s been fortunate enough to share his passion for research through the publication of several articles in peer-reviewed journals spanning the fields of psychology, neuroscience, education, consumer behavior, and technology.
Outside of the office, you’re likely to find Shane unplugged and enjoying the great outdoors. He takes pride in his erratic list of hobbies, which range from gardening to backcountry skiing to unsuccessfully panning for gold. He always enjoys connecting with others, so please feel free to reach out to him at shane.schwikert@colorado.edu!
Shane supports undocumented students, staff, and their families.
