Courtney Ngai is bridging the worlds of computing, engineering and artistic expression in her pursuits at ASU. She finds endeavors in those fields share elements of discipline, improvisation and creativity, and she sees connections between the objectives of science and art. A solo dance project she is working on draws its theme from similarities she finds between the use of improvisational dance and the structures used in writing code. She has plans to employ talents in both areas after graduation by working as a software engineer and continuing to study and perform dance.
