Emily Hau

Emily is the Associate Director of Data Science at Yale, Director of Programs and Partnerships at YINS and in the Human Nature Lab. She is the Hunala project manager. Emily received her BA in geography from Ohio Wesleyan University, before studying international business law at the American University of Paris. Upon her return to the United States, she was recruited for a postgraduate fellowship in developmental social neuroscience at the Yale University School of Medicine. She co-founded the Give Speech Foundation, a nonprofit with a simple mission: to make augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) technology better, cheaper, and more accessible. Emily firmly believes smiles are contagious (she’s right) and that Yale University is the happiest place on earth. She is wife to William, and mother to two gorgeous little girls who are too smart for their own good. She spends every free moment successfully avoiding cooking.
