About

Lizbeth Goodman is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of assistive technology, inclusive design, and human-computer interaction. Her work focuses on developing innovative solutions that empower individuals with disabilities, particularly those with limited mobility and severe acquired brain injuries (sABI). Goodman’s major contributions include co-designing real and virtual spaces for sABI survivors, challenging misdiagnoses and offering new pathways to recovery. She also advanced the use of drones for live streaming visuals, enabling people with mobility constraints to experience and interact with their environments in unprecedented ways. Though her most-cited papers—on drones for accessibility (10 citations) and co-design for brain injury survivors (4 citations)—reflect a growing but specialized impact, Goodman’s influence extends through her advocacy for inclusive, participatory design processes. Her notable achievement lies in reframing “hopeless” cases as opportunities for innovation, emphasizing that technology must be co-created with users to be truly transformative. For students and researchers, Goodman’s work serves as a powerful reminder that the most meaningful technological advances often emerge from addressing the needs of the most marginalized.
