Beginning with her work in the space industry developing computer systems for demonstration satellites and science payloads and ending with her current research in assistive and rehabilitation technologies to support people living with physical and/or cognitive challenges such as stroke survivors. She will show how these two seemingly far-apart engineering fields are connected by a few techniques in computer science, including gamification. Dorothy’s research involved care for the elderly, those suffering from Parkinson’s Disease, Stroke, Dementia, Brain Injury and Depression.
