Stacy Doore

Stacy Doore is a computer scientist whose area of expertise is broadly categorized into responsible computing and human-computer interaction. 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. Doore’s focus is on technology that solves real-world problems by increasing access to information and removing barriers for vulnerable and underserved communities. She also contributes to computing ethics standards and computer science education as co-creator of the Computing Ethics Narrative Project. 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 founded Colby’s Coding Club, which provides community outreach by working with local public schools, and is an associate editor of the Association for Computing Machinery’s ethics repository.

Doore earned her M.Sc. and Ph.D. in spatial information science and engineering in addition to a B.A. in anthropology and B.S. in education from the University of Maine.
