Listening, interpretation, and the human side of data—not a portrait of Nabiha.AI-generated illustration · Not research evidence or a real study site

Nabiha Yousuf studies the human side of data — how people interpret, question, and act on the numbers they receive. Her dissertation listens to supply chain professionals and frontline employees to understand when data becomes meaning, and when it becomes noise. Her perspective is shaped in part by professionals at GE, whose experiences contributed to her continued learning and inspiration.
