living in a smart home, could we change
the lights to augment their mood?"
This could truly be a game changer for
patients, and the CML's research find-
ings are gaining extensive recognition,
having been published in 16 publications
in 2019 alone.
Beyond her "day job," Faghih is busy
with a multitude of other activities. She
does outreach with her students, host-
ing more than 80 Houston-area school-
girls at the CML last year, and has been
writing poetry since she was in elemen-
tary school. Her parents have written
books, and Faghih says she always
wanted to complete her own book just
like them, so she published two poetry
books while in college. She's also ready
at any moment to mentor or advise,
sharing that, when it comes to finding
postdocs to set Ph.D. students on their
future path, she recommends "attend-
ing conferences and asking faculty or
colleagues if there are opportunities at
their institutions."
Given her diverse talents and pen-
chant for applying her research to make
an impact on people's lives, it will be
exciting to watch what Faghih accom-
plishes in this next decade. Although she
was already featured in IEEE TV's spe-
cial series "I Change the World. I Am an
Engineer" back in 2013, an update may
be in order in 2023.

for studying brain activity for several
decades, this transformative research
by CML has laid the foundations of a
promising new approach."
An example Faghih provides is this:
If someone is experiencing stress, the
resulting arousal will create tiny chang-
es to their sweat activity, which can be
measured on their skin. This measure-
ment of skin-conductance response
could be taken via a smartwatch or
other wearable-type device, which is
socially acceptable, versus a headset or
other medical tools. "We can infer the
underlying neural stimuli from the skin-
conductance response and then, per-
haps, even generate some response," she
says. "Say someone is depressed. Could
we play music for them? Or, if they're
