Technologies
Designing and evaluating how to maximize technology usability to amplify human capabilities
Leveraging universal design as a catalyst for innovation, we research how technologies can be designed so that people with disabilities can effectively use and benefit from them, focusing on:
The continuum of assistive technology and how it can improve outcomes for people with disabilities.
Tactile media and technologies that expand access for people with low or no vision.
Accessible workplace and commercial technologies that improve quality of life.
Emerging and AI-driven technologies that are both accessible and ethical.
