The trailblazers in human, academic, scientific and religious freedom have always been in the minority… It will take such a small committed minority to work unrelentingly to win the uncommitted majority. Such a group may transform America’s greatest dilemma into her most glorious opportunity.
Background
Kris Dorsey is an associate professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and the Department of Physical Therapy, Movement, and Rehabilitation Sciences in the Bouvé College of Health Sciences at Northeastern University. Dorsey graduated from Carnegie Mellon University with a PhD in electrical and computer engineering and earned her bachelor’s of science in electrical and computer engineering from Olin College.
Interests
Dorsey’s current research interests include the design and fabrication of reconfigurable soft sensors for soft robots and wearable medical devices. She has spoken on the need to define and configure the properties of soft-material devices for applications in wearable devices, robotics, and human-machine interfaces.
