Suzanne Weghorst

Author: Suzanne Weghorst

Ph.D

Suzanne Weghorst is a Senior Research Scientist and Research Director at the University of Washington's Human Interface Technology Laboratory (HIT Lab). She holds advanced degrees in both computer science (University of Washington) and experimental psychology (University of California, Riverside), and has focused her attention in recent years on novel approaches to human-computer interaction. Her work at the HIT Lab has included research on situation awareness in virtual environments, augmented reality technologies, assistive devices for people with disabilities, surgical simulation systems, and advanced human interfaces for medicine and molecular biology. Weghorst is active in the medical VR research community, serving as program advisor for several medical VR conferences and as co-editor of the Medicine Meets Virtual Reality conference proceedings. Weghorst and her colleagues at the HIT Lab were recipients of the 2001 Satava Award for their contributions to medical interface technology.
