His research interests include technology for independent living, theories and methods in aging and understanding the innovation process. His work has involved him in a leadership and advisory role in numerous major international research projects and initiatives with academic, government, and industry partners. He received his doctorate from the University of London and was previously a lecturer at the University of Liverpool at the Institute of Human Ageing and Department of Primary Care.
Judith Sixsmith, University of Dundee, Scotland
Judith Sixsmith, Ph.D. is a Professor in the School of Health Sciences at the University of Dundee. Her research interests reside in the areas of public health and social care where she explores the ways in which people living in disadvantaged communities experience processes of marginalization, taking care to include the voices of people who are seldom heard. She has expertise in qualitative methods including visual and textual designs and analyses. Often working within collaborative, gendered, participatory and transdisciplinary approaches, Judith has directed several research projects on issues of healthy aging, dementia, place-making and palliative and end of life care.
Mei Lan Fang, University of Dundee, Scotland
Mei Lan Fang, Ph.D. holds an academic role of Research Fellow located in the People, Health and Communities Research group in the School of Health Sciences at the University of Dundee. With a background in public health, specializing in social and health inequities, she has applied this lens in her research working across health disciplines and sectors as a transdisciplinary scientist and health sciences methodologist. Over the past ten years, across academic institutions in both Canada and in the United Kingdom, Mei has developed theory, methods and practice in health-related areas of critical public health, ethnic and migration studies, environmental gerontology, aging and technology, global health promotion and mental health and addiction.
Becky Horst, Western University, Canada
Becky Horst, M.Sc. is a current Cognitive Neuroscience Ph.D. student at Western University. With a background of Kinesiology and Neuroanatomy, her thesis work largely revolves around projects that integrate exercise psychology, neuroanatomy, and cognition. Her research specifically focuses on older adult’s perceptions of their cognitive abilities and the influence modifying their physical and cognitive health has on psychological perception of self, neurocognitive networks, and overall brain health. Becky has also been involved in developing Knowledge Translation materials for the AGE-WELL Network, contributing to the production of “The Future of Technology and Aging Research in Canada,” as well as the STAR Institute’s “Key Issues in Aging in the 21st Century” digital booklet.
