Associate Professor of Computer Science, Colby College
Stacy Doore earned her M.Sc. and Ph.D. in spatial information science and engineering from the University of Maine.
Her scholarship explores how humans and machines process, communicate, and act upon spatial information.
Her research specifically focuses on spatial information systems and multimodal information access of spatial information, contributing to the development of emerging assistive technologies. Recent projects range from developing a mobile-accessible navigation framework to help people with visual impairments in wayfinding to a quadruped robot navigation guide named Spot. In 2022 her work with the Autonomous Vehicle Research Group received third prize in the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Inclusive Design Challenge for their Autonomous Vehicle Assistant smartphone app. She works to improve computing ethics education as a co-creator of the Computing Ethics Narrative Project.
