About
Juliana Damasio is a dedicated researcher at the intersection of accessible computing and educational robotics. Her primary research areas focus on inclusive programming education, assistive technologies for people with visual impairments, and the development of accessible human-robot interaction tools. Damasio's most significant contributions include her systematic review on programming teaching with robotic support for visually impaired learners, which critically examines the barriers posed by highly visual programming environments. Building on this foundation, she developed GoDonnie, a pioneering robot programming language specifically designed to be accessible for people who are visually impaired. This work directly addresses the exclusion of visually impaired individuals from computing careers by creating a non-visual, tactile programming experience. Although her citation counts are currently modest, her research represents a vital and growing area of inclusive computer science education. Damasio’s work is notable for its practical, human-centered approach, aiming to democratize access to programming and robotics for all learners. Her contributions are particularly relevant for educators, assistive technology developers, and researchers committed to broadening participation in computing.
